[users@httpd] How to disable public_html

In order to disable public_html usage on the production server,
I commented out the following lines in httpsd.conf file
 
#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
#    UserDir public_html
#</IfModule>
 
But public_html is still active. What else needs to be done.

In versions less than 2.2, UserDir defaults to public_html so you need
UserDir disabled
to get rid of it.

In 2.2, simply commenting-out UserDir will do the trick.
