Hi Somnath,

SmbComNTCreateAndX automatically adds FILE_READ_DATA.

Perhaps you should post precisely what actually happens and describe
why you think it is in error.

Those are options specific to if the file is created. I don't recall
what each bit actually means. I don't think they were documented when
I wrote the code. They may be now.
