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/

case sensitive
No files or directories are vetoed.
