The patch looks fine - but since it does not set obj_type any more - I
want to think about it a little more since it may be useful coming
back from the open path (although the mode is probably good enough).
jra added support to Samba for a new POSIX open/create/mkdir request
(which we only use for mkdir at the moment) - using  this call for
open (when the server indicates support for it as Samba does) would
cut the number of roundtrips to the server on these calls as it does
now for mkdir.
