This option is used when Samba is attempting to delete a directory that contains one or more vetoed directories (see the option). If this option is set to no (the default) then if a vetoed directory contains any non-vetoed files or directories then the directory delete will fail. This is usually what you want. If this option is set to yes, then Samba will attempt to recursively delete any files and directories within the vetoed directory. This can be useful for integration with file serving systems such as NetAtalk which create meta-files within directories you might normally veto DOS/Windows users from seeing (e.g. .AppleDouble) Setting yes allows these directories to be transparently deleted when the parent directory is deleted (so long as the user has permissions to do so). veto files no
