Mario, Check out the UserDir directive in the apache docs. You could also put a symlink in the DocumentRoot if you wanted. One issue here will be the permissions on the user's home dir. It will have to be world executable for the web server to be able to read the html directory beneath it. The .htaccess will control the web access, but there could be other ways of getting at the docs (for example, an ftp client).
