I wrote a small workaround in perl to get an working index.html. Don't
laugh I'm a beginner, but it works. It uses the fact that the ftp access
to people.redhat.com is still wide open and a simple ls on it gives me
all the directory names:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("people.redhat.com", Debug => 0);
$ftp->login("anonymous",'me at test.net');
$ftp->cwd("/");
@data=$ftp->ls("/");
$ftp->quit;

print("<html>\n\r<head></head>\n\r");
print("<body>");

foreach $a(@data)
{
	chomp($a);
 	print("<a href=\"http://people.redhat.com$a\">$a</a><br>\r\n");
}

print("</body></html>");

Save this to getIndex.pl, them make it runnable an redirect the output
to a html-file, like ./getIndex.pl > index.html 

HTH
