No, I don't want to make all objects a directory. But I do want to put
all named objects into directories <g>

Basically event, mutex, section, timer, etc can go there with minor
changes to code. Named pipes, mail slots and winstations with desktops
are a bit different. They have their own name space, that I'm planning on
using current namespace mechanism for. With the sample code I've sent to
you some days ago to show how that would work with named pipes.
find_object_dir worked perfectly on named pipes. The problem is object
creation. Actually not a creation itself, but insertion into the local
name space. I need to call different functions to insert an object into
directory or local name space (struct namespace). To do that I will need
to know what object type are we creating and what object type is the
parent.


About RootDirectory part of the OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES: I need to make some
more tests, but so far I see that it have to be a handle (on ntdll side)
to a directory object. Same is also stated on MSDN. Otherwise it fails.
