<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="DONTDESCEND"/>dont descend (S)</term>
		<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>
