How to disable the direct access for cgi-bin & ? (fwd)

Hi,

        I managed to get it working. I decided to compile the lastest version of
squid when I found the size of the squid binary < 300KB (I was using the squid
which came with BSDI 3.0). It is now working.

         I would like thank Redfern Ian & Bill Wichers for their response.

Regards,
Muthu
