Not a Raq issue specifically but you can do two things:

1 -- put up an index.html page in your cgi directory that simply says 
"You're NOT allowed in here." or something. ALWAYS do that.

2 -- Set the directory's permissions to 7-1-1 or rwx--x--x (owner can 
do everything; world can only execute). That should work with cgiwrap 
on the Raq and it makes having the index.html page unnecessary.

But do both of them just in case.
