[cobalt-security] Directory Indexing



I was under the impression that the default settings on a Raq disallowed
directory indexing
via http.  I thought the access.conf "directory, options, none" setting made
directory browsing "forbidden" on a Raq.  Yet I discovered recently that cgi
directories and others are readable on most web sites, but mysteriously, not
all of them.  That is, all permissions being equal. I've applied band aids
to prevent future access but I'm disturbed by this breach of security.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
