[users@httpd] Looking for .conf files

Hi there! Being a newbie in apache usage, I've been looking for apache's .conf 
files - and found 6 copies of some of them. Example httpd.conf:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/home/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/home/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
/usr/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/usr/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
/usr/share/susehelp/httpd.conf

Which one is the one I have to edit?
Thanks for helping.

Laurent

# httpd -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
generates the message:
-bash: httpd: command not found

When I start apache with that -f flag, it doesn't change anything. I have to 
find the .conf-file where I can insert the "UserDir" directive. Is it 
httpd.conf or mod_userdir.conf? I know this question must sound silly to you, 
but I am really new to all this...

Well, Laurent, you can define which httpd.conf file to use while starting up 
apache with -f flag. I.e.:
# httpd -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
