3 <listitem><para>This option is used when Samba is attempting to
4 delete a directory that contains one or more vetoed directories
5 (see the <link linkend="VETOFILES"><parameter moreinfo="none">veto files</parameter></link>
6 option). If this option is set to <constant>no</constant> (the default) then if a vetoed
7 directory contains any non-vetoed files or directories then the
8 directory delete will fail. This is usually what you want.</para>
10 <para>If this option is set to <constant>yes</constant>, then Samba
11 will attempt to recursively delete any files and directories within
12 the vetoed directory. This can be useful for integration with file
13 serving systems such as NetAtalk which create meta-files within
14 directories you might normally veto DOS/Windows users from seeing
15 (e.g. <filename moreinfo="none">.AppleDouble</filename>)</para>
17 <para>Setting <command moreinfo="none">delete veto files = yes</command> allows these
18 directories to be transparently deleted when the parent directory
19 is deleted (so long as the user has permissions to do so).</para>
21 <para>See also the <link linkend="VETOFILES"><parameter moreinfo="none">veto
22 files</parameter></link> parameter.</para>
