reminder needed


Hi

I'm having a brain ache at the moment so excuses if I have missed this
in the archive - yes I did look I know there was some discussion a while
ago on how to stop browsing a directory where there was no index.*
(html,php,asp, etc) but I can't find it - normally I mark things like
that but I must have missed it.  I know you can chmod 711 to the
directory to get the same result but I need to do it server wide for
customers.
----------------------------

Aside from the modification to your httpd.conf which I'm sure
others will tell you about, an effective, low-tech solution is
to out a dummy, empty index.html file into each directory that
you don't want people to be doing directory listings on.
