Yes,
Thanks ProHacker, that's a more secure solution but would require adding the .htaccess file into each directory you wich to have readable. I guess it depends on what you want...
I'd recommend prohackers way, but if you want that feature to be global to all accounts and directories without having to add the .htaccess file to each, my solution will accomplish this. There are probably other ways to modify the <Directory /> directive to make it work, but this seems to work fine.
