> When setting up virtual servers I have noticed that the httpd.conf file
> says that any srm.conf directive can be utilized in the <VirtualHost>
> section. The problem I have discovered is that I want to disable
> the UserDir function of all the virtual hosts, so that for example
> user foo, who has a personal home page with us at
> http://www.mbay.net/~foo isn't able to retrieve it as
> http://www.virtualserver.com/~foo/. I tried to disable it like I would
> with NCSA, but the error logs show that the server is still processing
> the request as file not found /home/u1/foo/disable or whatever I set it
> to. While this is fine and accomplishes the purpose more or less, the
> real goal is to not have error's in the logs, because our customers might
> start wondering,"Why so many errors?"
> i realize that this is more or less a minor issue, but it is one that
> should be addressed, to avoid problems in the future. If I am totally off
> in left field let me know.
