+<description>
+ <para>This option is used when Samba is attempting to
+ delete a directory that contains one or more vetoed files
+ or directories or non-visible files or directories (such
+ as dangling symlinks that point nowhere).
+ (see the <smbconfoption name="veto files"/>, <smbconfoption name="hide special files"/>,
+ <smbconfoption name="hide unreadable"/>, <smbconfoption name="hide unwriteable files"/>
+ options). 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 <smbconfoption name="delete veto files">yes</smbconfoption> allows these
+ directories to be transparently deleted when the parent directory
+ is deleted (so long as the user has permissions to do so).</para>
