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