Know of any good links to documentation or source patches for completely
modifying or removing the banner?  Note also that the Prod option only
works with versions strictly greater than 1.3.12.  :-(

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
