Exactly, and likewise for "force create mode". How does that make sense? If
the option is called "do X", and fails to do X in some opaque circumstances,
how is that not a bug? At the very very least, it needs to be explained
somewhere. Last I checked, there was nothing in the smb.conf manual to
indicate that any of this would happen. The existence of a chmod extension
isn't even mentioned. (As I said before.)

On a more general note, I would recommend triaging user bug reports when you
are available to actually try to understand what users are saying. Ignoring
information provided and repeating the same question all over again is
unhelpful at best.
