7 This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible nor accessible. Each entry in
8 the list must be separated by a '/', which allows spaces to be included in the entry. '*' and '?'
9 can be used to specify multiple files or directories as in DOS wildcards.

13 Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and must <emphasis>not</emphasis> include the
14 unix directory separator '/'.

22 One feature of the veto files parameter that it is important to be aware of is Samba's behaviour when
23 trying to delete a directory. If a directory that is to be deleted contains nothing but veto files this
24 deletion will <emphasis>fail</emphasis> unless you also set the <smbconfoption name="delete veto files"/>
25 parameter to <parameter moreinfo="none">yes</parameter>.
26 </para>

28 <para>
29 Setting this parameter will affect the performance of Samba, as it will be forced to check all files
30 and directories for a match as they are scanned.

34 Examples of use include:
35<programlisting>
36; Veto any files containing the word Security,
37; any ending in .tmp, and any directory containing the
38; word root.
39veto files = /*Security*/*.tmp/*root*/

41; Veto the Apple specific files that a NetAtalk server
42; creates.
43veto files = /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/
