[users@httpd] Turning off auto directory indexing *except* per directory specified?

Hello Apache,

  I've searched through the documentation on Apache for how to turn
  off auto directory indexing but I am coming up empty. I would like
  for the contents of any and all directories to never be listed.

  I would like for the contents of certain directories to be listed
  but on a global scale I would like all directories *not listed*. Is
  this possible?

  I searched the documentation and feel I came close to it but the
  definitions to mod_dir and mod_autoindex do not explain how to do
  it... Maybe its a little more complex than I assume or maybe I am
  looking at the wrong docs...

  I would surely appreciate any help on how to turn off auto indexing
  globally yet enable it locally for certain dirs. I love links :)

  Thank you :)

Options -Indexes

Or remove "Indexes" from existing "Options" directives.

Globally, have "Options -Indexes" and then, for a particular directory:

<Directory /what/ever>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Hi Victor,

Check Option -Indexes at the root directory directives, that should do it
for you.
