valid
-valid (S) This parameter  indicates whether a share is valid and thus can be used. When this parameter is set to false, the share will be              in no way visible nor accessible.

This option should not be used by regular users but might be of              help to developers. Samba uses this option internally  to  mark shares as deleted.

Default: _�-_�v_�a_�l_�i_�d = yes

valid users
valid users (S) This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this service. Names starting with '@', '+' and '&'  are  interpreted using the  same rules as described in the _�i_�n_�v_�a_�l_�i_�d _�u_�s_�e_�r_�s parame- ter.

If this is empty (the default) then any user can  login. If a              username  is  in  both this list and the _�i_�n_�v_�a_�l_�i_�d _�u_�s_�e_�r_�s list then access is denied for that user.

The current servicename is substituted for _�%_�S. This is  useful in the [homes] section.

Default: _�v_�a_�l_�i_�d _�u_�s_�e_�r_�s = # No valid users list (anyone can login)

Example: _�v_�a_�l_�i_�d _�u_�s_�e_�r_�s = greg, @pcusers

veto files
veto files (S) This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible nor accessible. Each entry in the list must be separated  by  a              '/',  which  allows  spaces to be included in the entry. '*' and '?' can be used to specify multiple files or directories as  in              DOS wildcards.

Each entry  must  be  a  unix path, not a DOS path and must n�no�ot�t include the unix directory separator '/'.

Note that the _�c_�a_�s_�e _�s_�e_�n_�s_�i_�t_�i_�v_�e option is  applicable  in  vetoing files.

One feature of the veto files parameter that it is important to              be aware of is Samba's behaviour when trying to delete a  direc- tory. If a directory that is to be deleted contains nothing but veto files this deletion will f�fa�ai�il�l  unless  you  also  set  the _�d_�e_�l_�e_�t_�e _�v_�e_�t_�o _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s parameter to_�y_�e_�s.

Setting this parameter will affect the performance of Samba, as              it will be forced to check all files and directories for a match as they are scanned.

Default: _�v_�e_�t_�o _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s = # No files or directories are vetoed.

Example: _�v_�e_�t_�o _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s = ; Veto any files containing the word Secu- rity, ; any ending in .tmp, and any directory containing the  ; word root. veto files  = /*Security*/*.tmp/*root*/ ; Veto the Apple specific files that a NetAtalk  server  ;  creates. veto files = /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/

veto oplock files
veto oplock files (S) This parameter  is  only  valid  when  the _�o_�p_�l_�o_�c_�k_�s parameter is              turned on for a share. It allows  the  Samba  administrator  to              selectively  turn  off the granting of oplocks on selected files that match a wildcarded list, similar to  the  wildcarded  list used in the_�v_�e_�t_�o _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s parameter.

You might want to do this on files that you know will be heavily contended for by clients. A good example of this is in the Net- Bench SMB  benchmark  program,  which  causes heavy client con- tention for files ending in _�._�S_�E_�M. To cause Samba not  to  grant oplocks on  these  files  you would use the line (either in the              [global] section or in the section for the  particular  NetBench              share :

Default: _�v_�e_�t_�o  _�o_�p_�l_�o_�c_�k  _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s = # No files are vetoed for oplock grants

Example: _�v_�e_�t_�o _�o_�p_�l_�o_�c_�k _�f_�i_�l_�e_�s = /.*SEM/

vfs objects
vfs object This parameter is a synonym for vfs objects.

vfs objects (S) This parameter specifies the backend names which are  used  for Samba VFS I/O operations. By default, normal disk I/O operations are used but these can be  overloaded  with  one  or  more  VFS objects.

Default: _�v_�f_�s _�o_�b_�j_�e_�c_�t_�s =

Example: _�v_�f_�s _�o_�b_�j_�e_�c_�t_�s = extd_audit recycle

volume
volume (S) This allows  you  to  override  the volume label returned for a              share. Useful for CDROMs with installation programs that insist on a particular volume label.

Default: _�v_�o_�l_�u_�m_�e = # the name of the share
