+<description>
+ <para>This is a list of files or directories that are not
+ visible but are accessible. The DOS 'hidden' attribute is applied
+ to any files or directories that match.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>Each entry must be a Unix path, not a DOS path and must
+ not include the Unix directory separator '/'.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the case sensitivity option is applicable
+ in hiding files.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ The example shown above is based on files that the Macintosh
+ SMB client (DAVE) available from <ulink url="http://www.thursby.com">
+ Thursby</ulink> creates for internal use, and also still hides
+ all files beginning with a dot.

+ An example of us of this parameter is:
