hello

fastest way :> :
1. set good permissions for user's home directory and public_html
2. create `home' directory in chroot
3. mount_null /home /var/www/home
4. chage in httpd.conf UserDir to /var/www/home/*/public_html

imho it's the best way to handle homepages. Mount_null provide also
readonly mounting, and users don't have to end with their 
` ~/public_html habits' .

good luck :)
