Being user `root' has nothing to do with this problem.

It looks like an access forbidden error because the web server
cannot find a default page to display (eg, index.html), and it is
configured to NOT give directory listing indexes.

Yes, it means "all possible source addresses" (that exist on the
box... you can configure named to listen to specific IPs on
multi-homed boxes).

... with "Indexes" turned off and a missing default file.

The docs will help, but the problem is obscure for the un-initiated
:-)  Gotta know what the problem really is before you can find the
