Let the users continue to store files in their home directories. You could
do:
ln -s /home/username/public_html /home/httpd/html/username
for each user. If you make this a standard, you could put it in a script
named 'linkhtmldir':
#!/bin/bash
ln -s /home/$1/public_html /home/httpd/html/$1
and call it like this:
linkhtmldir agreene
