yes, it inherits just about everything:
from man page:
The fork() and fork1() functions create a new process. The
new process (child process) is an exact copy of the calling
process (parent process). The child process inherits the
following attributes from the parent process:
o real user ID, real group ID, effective user ID, effec-
tive group ID
o environment
o open file descriptors
o close-on-exec flags (see exec(2))
o signal handling settings (that is, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN,
SIG_HOLD, function address)
o supplementary group IDs
o set-user-ID mode bit
o set-group-ID mode bit
o profiling on/off status
o nice value (see nice(2))
o scheduler class (see priocntl(2))
o all attached shared memory segments (see shmop(2))
o process group ID -- memory mappings (see mmap(2))
o session ID (see exit(2))
o current working directory
o root directory
o file mode creation mask (see umask(2))
