No, non-SSL exits the imap-login processes after login, so that has never reserved fds. So the fix was for SSL connections, and I tested SSL connections..
I'm now just wondering if it's only dovecot-auth that doesn't notice the socket closing for some reason, or if the imap-login processes proxying SSL didn't really close the socket after all.
I am also experiencing an increased file descriptors usage on a server with several hundreds of users (running debian sarge amd64) since I'm using rc15. rc17 did not fix the problem. The server was formerly running fine with beta8. The problem is that when the file descriptors limit is reached, dovecot stops responding to new connections or responds strangely (thunderbird says that the server is not an imapV4 server) but nothing is logged anywhere. The only fix is a restart.
