6 <para>This is a list of files and directories that
7 are neither visible nor accessible. Each entry in the list must
8 be separated by a '/', which allows spaces to be included
9 in the entry. '*' and '?' can be used to specify multiple files
10 or directories as in DOS wildcards.</para>
12 <para>Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and
13 must <emphasis>not</emphasis> include the unix directory
16 <para>Note that the <parameter moreinfo="none">case sensitive</parameter> option
17 is applicable in vetoing files.</para>
19 <para>One feature of the veto files parameter that it
20 is important to be aware of is Samba's behaviour when
21 trying to delete a directory. If a directory that is
22 to be deleted contains nothing but veto files this
23 deletion will <emphasis>fail</emphasis> unless you also set
24 the <parameter moreinfo="none">delete veto files</parameter> parameter to
25 <parameter moreinfo="none">yes</parameter>.</para>
27 <para>Setting this parameter will affect the performance
28 of Samba, as it will be forced to check all files and directories
29 for a match as they are scanned.</para>
