It is not irrelevant. Yes, as Vitaliy pointed out the architecture needs 
to be changed so that all of the objects have a generic mapping and that 
mapping is done automatically, but we are in code freeze and I don't 
think those sorts of changes are acceptable. I think that adding in a 
mapping for the file object only in the wineserver is acceptable. The 
one line can be abstracted out later.

Just to make it clear, the question about NT rights mapping to Unix 
rights matters wherever the mapping is done.
