=46rom what I can tell . . .

FreeBSD defines LOCAL_PEERCRED and what goes with its use, not linux.
Linux defines SO_PEERCRED and what goes with its use, not FreeBSD.

If I understand right, your code is incompatible with the referenced
CollaboraOnline  code from just after the #else (so __FreeBSD__ case,
not the linux case):

getsockopt(getFD(), 0, LOCAL_PEERCRED, &creds, &credSize)
vs. your:
getsockopt(s, SOL_LOCAL, LOCAL_PEERCRED, &creds, &credSize)

Note the 0 vs. the SOL_LOCAL. Your code is a mix of Linux
and FreeBSD code when it should not be.

See also the following that involved replacing a SOL_LOCAL
with a 0 for getsockopt used with LOCAL_PEERCRED:
