On FreeBSD and MidnightBSD, Dovecot's net_getunixcred() relies on getpeereid(), which lacks PID info, causing every imap-login connection to register with anvil as pid=-1 and collide in its per-process hash.
Here's an example fix for the problem. Note this was AI generated with claude fable and I don't know what your AI policy is.
Here's an updated version of the patch. Does it still work?
FYI: I have reacted to Lucas' mail 5 hours ago with yet another patch. Now, 5 hours later I receive your mail sent 10 (!) hours ago?!
Is it only me, or is there something weird ongoing with dovecot's mailing list software?
Sorry for the noise and regards, Michael
