    No there aren't - but that's also because I don't run IDS from any 
cgi-bin.  I run IDS from a regular, non-cgi-bin location on my (Apache) 
server.  And since Apache knows to execute anything that has .cgi on it, 
it'll only worry about those, nothing else.

# cat /etc/httpd/conf/conf.photos.yeehaw.net
 DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs
 <Directory /var/www/vhosts/photos.yeehaw.net/htdocs>
  Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
  AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
 </Directory> 

# cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[ ... snip ... ]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.cgi
</IfModule>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
[ ... snip .. ]


    Notice that my cgi-bin has nothing to do with my IDS installation. 
 And IDS is not in any cgi-bin location, it's being run as a simple 
vhost, with provisions to allow .cgi files to be executed, rather than 
read in as any other .html or .jpg file(s).

    Someone should document this and write a Setup Howto - we don't 
really have one.  I and still haven't setup CVS..urgh, what's wrong with 
me.  Sorry, I'll get to it.
