Why does my access level for a shared directory in Linux change everytime , from
drwxr--xr--x 2 root user 6 Jun 14 11:01 Admin/

to

drwx--x--x 2 root user 6 Jun 14 11:01 Admin/

Then I get a message "Access denied" when try to access it. I have checked the /etc/samba/smb.conf...all seems to be fine. Please advice.

d= directory
r = read
w = write
x = execute

your permissions have not changed, the group permissions have.

if you are trying to access something, through samba, and can't then you are locked into samba's sandbox.
