ok.  That makes senses and is pretty much what we do
on the spoolss handles.  Interesting.... Ah...of course.
That makes perfect sense!  Thanks so much.  Don't know
why I didn't realize it before.

I've added what I think is similar to this idea in
access_check_samr_object().  The real key is to get
the access_check_samr_function() checks correct.
Brilliant!  I know exactly what to do now.

This was a big help.  It's basically just a reimplementation
of what we did on printer handles.





cheers, jerry
