#UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
#directory if a ~user request is received.
#The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be
#accessible to the webserver userid. This usually means that ~userid
#must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions
#of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.
#Otherwise, the client will only receive a ""403 Forbidden"" message.
#
# UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence
# of a username on the system (depending on home directory
# permissions).

UserDir disabled
#
# To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html
# directory, remove the ""UserDir disabled"" line above, and uncomment
# the following line instead:
#
#UserDir public_html
#Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
#for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
