Thank you for that information. So I added this directive:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
to my conf file in the root httpd directory and rebooted (I am using Cobalt Raq 4).
But it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Is this because the server will only follow symbolic links where the target file or directory is in the top level of the 'sites' directory?
Within sites I have the individual user web directories i.e.www.site1.com and www.site2.com etc. Here are my instructions
cd /home/sites/www.site2.com/web
ln -s /home/sites/www.site1.com/web/images images
successfully creates the 'alias' images directory in site2... but If I navigate to it vai a browser, permission is denied???

OK, now I see what you are trying to do. It will be even easier for you to just get rid of the symlink and use an Alias directive in httpd.conf.
Also, check that the account you are running your web server under has read access to the directory/files referenced by the symlink/alias. (The security of the symbolic link itself is basically transparent.)
If you do a:
chmod o+r filename
It will give all users Read permissions to the file specified by filename.
