There is a port of that function into
wineserver in server/token.c called map_generic_mask that I
used for the purpose of mapping generic access rights in the
token functions. The problem with translating from generic
access rights is that they don't map onto Unix access rights
very well. I suspect that the best solution is to request read
access if any of the NT read rights are requested and
similarly for the write rights.
Except that is largely irrelevant in this particular case. It's
the mapping from GENERIC to <OBJECT>_... (e.g. FILE_) that is
relevant, and as Vitaliy pointed out, that is in the object
area.
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.
