I'm glad this one showed up again, because I meant to write back and say
Thanks! to whomever posted the instructions (went something like this):
Go into your srm.conf file and where it says
Options Indexes, blah blah blah
-just take out the word 'Indexes'.

I had been wondering how to do that, and it worked great! *Except* for the
site of mine that is maintained with FrontPage.  I haven't yet checked any
clients' sites who I know use FrontPage, but I'd suspect it's the same.
Now I just have to get around to putting up those 'unauthorized access'
error pages in my root directories, and figure out why FrontPage sites
aren't doing what big brother srm.conf tells them to.  :)
