blocking access to directory tree.

[Jack Morgan]

<Directory /whatever/directory)
Options "Anything but 'Indexes'"
</Dirtectory>

I believe you can also put it in your <VirtualHost> directive within the
httpd.conf file.  More info about the Options directive can be found on the
Apache web site.  But I'm pretty sure it's the Indexes option that gives
permission to show the directory tree if no index.html file exists.
