Make a .htaccess file in the directory where you don't want indexing, and put the following in it:
Options -Indexes This takes effect for that directory and all subdirectories. If you want a specific subdirectory to have indexing, make another .htaccess there and put Options +Indexes in it. This usually requires AllowOverride in srm.conf to be set to All; I set it to All regardless so I can put any directive in a .htaccess file. (Not sure of the security risks of doing this for a server full of web hosting customers; we do it on all of our servers and haven't had a problem yet, but that doesn't mean there are no security risks associated with doing that.)
