<Directory "/">

Allow from all
Deny from env=block_bad_bots
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/*/www">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
# FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride Options All
Order allow,deny

Thanks Joshua,
So, If I am reading that docs correctly, the bit I have to deny certain
USer
Agents should go near the top of my httpd.conf?
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^IDBot" block_bad_bots
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^$" block_bad_bots
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Java/1.4.1_04" block_bad_bots
<Directory "/">
Order Allow,Deny

It doesn't matter where in httpd.conf that it goes. But this will only
work if you have NO OTHER Order/Allow/Deny statements in httpd.conf.
Since <Directory /> is essentially the first thing evaluated
(regardless of its location) it will get overridden by any other
access control directives. This isn't a problem unless you have some
generic
<Directory /var/web>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
sections which will turn off your anti-robot rules.
Joshua.
