Also, if you want to be able to goto a folder don't you have to put the
ending "/" on or else setup your alias somehting to the effect of:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin

  as opposed to

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

The error that was mentioned denoted not found where as if browsing was
turned off the error should be Access Denied...

Or maybe I have no clue... It's been a while since I've tinkered with
apache 1.x
