can't view directoy files

hello,

Installed apache 2.0.47 for linux.
installed as /usr/local/apache2

I set up a NAME virtual host, which has a document root in their home dir
ie
/home/username/www

it works fine, however if I access the site and go into another directory
(without the index.html file in the dir) then it says 401 forbidden. I want
it to list the directory contents.

I haven't touched the orginal config except for the virtual host, where I
simply added ServerName and DocumentRoot values.
