+<samba:parameter name="dont descend"

+<listitem>
+ <para>There are certain directories on some systems
+ (e.g., the <filename moreinfo="none">/proc</filename> tree under Linux) that are either not
+ of interest to clients or are infinitely deep (recursive). This
+ parameter allows you to specify a comma-delimited list of directories
+ that the server should always show as empty.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that Samba can be very fussy about the exact format
+ of the &quot;dont descend&quot; entries. For example you may need <filename moreinfo="none">
+ ./proc</filename> instead of just <filename moreinfo="none">/proc</filename>.
+ Experimentation is the best policy :-) </para>

+ <para>Default: <emphasis>none (i.e., all directories are OK
+ to descend)</emphasis></para>

+ <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">dont descend = /proc,/dev</command></para>
