It depends on how you configure it.  Apache can be configured to
generate an index of files in a directory if there is no index.html
(or .shtml, or whatever) file...or...not :)  Not generating the index
is a bit of not-really-security, as people shouldn't really be able to
get to directories you don't want them to see anyway.
