Some people may check your server by trying to find 404 not founds in which your apache version is displayed. Here is how you turn it off.
pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or wherever your httpd.conf is located)
ctrl - w and put in 'ServerSignature'
change
to
service httpd restart
and your Apache 1.3.31 is now gone.
Cheers.
And some users may try and telnet to the host and see the HTTP response header, e.g
Code:
[seeno@seeno seeno]$ telnet qualitynet.net 80
Trying 195.226.224.91...
Connected to www.qualitynet.net (195.226.224.91).
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 21:43:19 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.7 <<<----
Connection: close

here's a trick that will show only 'Apache' as the Server, in httpd.conf change
to
or add it if it's not already there and restart the server. :)
