Setting Up Apache Web Server to Not See Everything On a NetWare Server

Q.
I have set up a Web server using Apache and to my surprise, I can read just about everything on my NetWare server. Using a request like this:
http://IP/....../etc/hosts
gives me the hosts file. What did I do wrong?

Dear Sarah: The very first directory entry in the server absolutely has to be as follows:
<Directory "/">
Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow deny from all
</Directory>
By default, the Apache Web server has access to the entire NetWare server, and this directory directive restricts that access.
