Hi Dirk,

I just looked at the code for this and see we were already half way there. Just that the implementation for it wasn't entirely correct.

I just published YUM updates for BlueOnyx 5209R, 5210R and 5211R which address the issue of "autoindex" and directory listings.

Under "Server Management" / "Network Services" / "Web" under the divider called "Options" you have the checkbox called "Indexes".

If this is NOT ticked, then directory listings will now be forbidden in everything under /home/sites/.

On newly installed BlueOnyx with the ISO's that I'm about to publish this week the default for this will now be: NOT ticked - which means directory listings will be disabled.

In the next divider below that (called "AllowOverride") you have "Indexes" again and *that* defines if someone is allowed to change the settings of "Indexes" in an .htaccess file.

So if you globally have "Indexes" off, but allow to change it via .htaccess you retain the flexibility to selectively turn directory listing back on for those directories that you actually want to expose.
