    You need to set the ServerTokens directive in httpd.conf to reveal only
    those things that you feel appropriate about the server.
    
    Options are:
    
    min - will return the product and version (i.e. Apache/1.3.0)
    os - will return product version and operating system.
    full - will return everything, including the installed modules (as you
    noted, and probably a bad thing).
    product_only - will return just the product (i.e. Apache)
    
    default seems to be full.
    
    Examples:
    
    ServerTokens Prod[uctOnly] 
         Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache 
    ServerTokens Min[imal] 
         Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0 
    ServerTokens OS 
         Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) 
    ServerTokens Full (or not specified) 
         Server sends (e.g.): Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) PHP/3.0 MyMod/1.2 
    
    Note that this works on the server config level and therefore cannot be set
    for individual virtualhosts.
    
    Cheers .... J
