The syntax is veto files = slash-list,
where a slash list is something like
/xxx.dll/yyy.dll/zzz.exe/
It's a "list of files not to allow the client to
see when listing a directory's contents".
That means user's can't find them in
a directory, and in principle can't read
or write them.
This is not perfect: you might be able
to open a file with an absolute path to
infect it, but you can't search for it
so the latter makes it hard for virii
to spread.
