Is it possible to make an Apache server like this

Apache/1.3.41 Server at user.it.uu.se Port 80

display hidden files (i.e., those who start with a dot) in a specific directory? I have some configuration there that's accessible (no problem), only those files don't show when I navigate to that directory. (Of course, you could set up an HTML interface with links, etc., even automatize update, but I'd rather just view the files like any others.)

It's my school's server, so I can't configure it apart from putting a file in that directory, telling the server to override the habit of not showing hidden files. Is this something you normally do, and, if so, how?

The system, if it matters (with uname -a):

SunOS yxan.it.uu.se 5.10 Generic_147440-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
