Restrict public_html to some users

[Nicolas Kowalski <Ni...@imag.fr>]

Hello.

IS there a smart way to make Apache read the Userdir directories only
for some allowed users, without use of .htaccess files (these can be
deleted by users).

For example : user1 and user2 both have "~/public_html/" directories,
but I only want user1 being able to have a personal web page. The URL
http://server/~user2/ should return an error, and
http://server/~user1/ should work.


In my actual configuration, personal web pages are stored on a
separate disk, on which I create allowed user directories, and I use
some rewrite rule :

UserDir /path/to/user/pages/PEOPLE
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/verimag/rewrite.log
RewriteRule ^/path/to/user/pages/~(.*) /PEOPLE/$1


Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.

Hm, I should have read more carefully these...I was not expecting
the `Userdir' directive had such options.

Thanks a lot.

Additional examples:

To allow a few users to have UserDir directories, but not anyone else, use
the following:

UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled user1 user2 user3
To allow most users to have UserDir directories, but deny this to a few,
use the following:

UserDir enabled
UserDir disabled user4 user5 user6
