putting some kind of index.html in the directory will disable the
default indexing page. If you need more security, and if you are writing
to that cfg file with Perl, set the permission on the file to 0700, Perl
can still rw the file but no one and no thing other than the siteAdmin
can read it or write to it. This works only if you have not disabled
CGIwrap for the server or that domain. If you have disabled CGIwrap or
are using a cgi other than Perl then you should place the file in a
directory outside the domain, parallel with web,user,certs,&logs.
