Any help would be appreciated.

This is what I ended up doing:

[Security] comment = Security & Antivirus software path = /share/security readonly = Yes [Security$] comment = Security & Antivirus software +rw path = /share/security browsable = No administrative share = Yes 

I am able to login from my computer using smbclient //server/security -U admin, but I am unable to connect using [Places->Connect to Server...] with a username and password.

 [global] preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes security = SHARE usershare allow guests = Yes guest ok = Yes null passwords = Yes guest account = samba map to guest = Bad User unix password sync = Yes lanman auth = Yes client plaintext auth = Yes lanman auth = Yes client NTLMv2 auth = Yes client lanman auth = Yes client plaintext auth = Yes [Security] comment = Security and Antivirus software path = /share/security write list = admin inherit permissions = Yes inherit owner = Yes hide special files = Yes hide unreadable = Yes 

I am able to login from my computer using smbclient //server/security -U brad, but I am unable to connect using [Places->Connect to Server...] with a username and password.

When I log in using smbclient //server/security -U brad, I can delete a file I put there by other means.
