<samba:parameter name="veto files"

xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7
This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible nor accessible. Each entry in
8
the list must be separated by a '/', which allows spaces to be included in the entry. '*' and '?'
9
can be used to specify multiple files or directories as in DOS wildcards.
13
Each entry must be a unix path, not a DOS path and must <emphasis>not</emphasis> include the
14
unix directory separator '/'.
18
Note that the <smbconfoption name="case sensitive"/> option is applicable in vetoing files.
22
One feature of the veto files parameter that it is important to be aware of is Samba's behaviour when
23
trying to delete a directory. If a directory that is to be deleted contains nothing but veto files this
24
deletion will <emphasis>fail</emphasis> unless you also set the <smbconfoption name="delete veto files"/>
25
parameter to <parameter moreinfo="none">yes</parameter>.
29
Setting this parameter will affect the performance of Samba, as it will be forced to check all files
30
and directories for a match as they are scanned.
34
Examples of use include:
36
; Veto any files containing the word Security,
37
; any ending in .tmp, and any directory containing the
39
veto files = /*Security*/*.tmp/*root*/
41
; Veto the Apple specific files that a NetAtalk server
43
veto files = /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/
