Well it's certainly the default in Suse supplied configs. It's to 
stop the spread of the Nimda virus via Samba shares (see 
http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/README.Win32-Viruses). A Google 
search for "samba veto riched20.dll" turns up quite a few hits, 
although most of them are postings of smb.conf files, which suggests 
to me that it isn't just Suse that's affected.
