Title:
  Permissions not inherited by files

Status in samba:
  Unknown
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Samba version used:
  4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Configure a samba share with inherited permissions:
  [share1]
    path = /srv/share1
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    guest ok = no
    inherit permissions = yes
  2. Create a directory under that share:
  cd /srv/share1; mkdir inherit && chown 2770 inherit

  3. Connect to this share from a Windows client and create a file and a
  folder in the new directory.

  What is expected?
  Both file and directory have permissions inherited from the parent directory.

  What happens?
  ├── [drwxrws---] ./inherit 
  │   ├── [-rwxr-----] ./inherit/New text document.txt 
  │   └── [drwxrws---] ./inherit/New folder 

  File has not inherited the group-write permission.

  This should not be the case according to the manpage 5 smb.conf:
  New files inherit their read/write bits from the parent directory.

  In this case the containing folder group write permission has not been
  inherited.

  The inheritance worked as expected in 4.1.6.
