[luau] linux/apache directories

[Jeff Mings]

I think you just need to change the directory permissions.  For example, 
if you don't want people to directly read the contents of a directory, 
use chmod 0711, or rwx--x--x.  Thus users can move into your directory 
as required by links, but they can't directly list its contents.
