<samba:parameter name="dont descend"
	         context="S"
		 xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
<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>
