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.
Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and must not include the
unix directory separator '/'.
Note that the option is applicable in vetoing files.
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 fail unless you also set the
parameter to yes.
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.
Examples of use include:
; Veto any files containing the word Security,
; any ending in .tmp, and any directory containing the
; word root.
veto files = /*Security*/*.tmp/*root*/
; Veto the Apple specific files that a NetAtalk server
; creates.
veto files = /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/

No files or directories are vetoed.
