<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="DELETEVETOFILES"/>delete veto files (S)</term>
		<listitem><para>This option is used when Samba is attempting to 
		delete a directory that contains one or more vetoed directories 
		(see the <link linkend="VETOFILES"><parameter moreinfo="none">veto files</parameter></link>
		option).  If this option is set to <constant>no</constant> (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.</para>

		<para>If this option is set to <constant>yes</constant>, 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. <filename moreinfo="none">.AppleDouble</filename>)</para>

		<para>Setting <command moreinfo="none">delete veto files = yes</command> allows these 
		directories to be  transparently deleted when the parent directory 
		is deleted (so long as the user has permissions to do so).</para>

		<para>See also the <link linkend="VETOFILES"><parameter moreinfo="none">veto 
		files</parameter></link> parameter.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">delete veto files = no</command></para></listitem>
