+<listitem>
+	<para>This is a list of files or directories that are not 
+	visible but are accessible.  The DOS 'hidden' attribute is applied 
+	to any files or directories that match.</para>
+
+	<para>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 
+	not include the Unix directory separator '/'.</para>
+
+	<para>Note that the case sensitivity option is applicable 
+	in hiding files.</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>

+	<para>The above example is based on files that the Macintosh 
+	SMB client (DAVE) available from <ulink url="http://www.thursby.com"> 
+	Thursby</ulink> creates for internal use, and also still hides 
+	all files beginning with a dot.</para>
