~user2/www -> htdocs/user2
~user3/www -> htdocs/user3
etc etc. Main advantage is that _all_ html pages can be served from a
separate webserver, and a user need not blow his disk quota on gifs and
jpegs :)
Something like
box1:~ ls -al ./web
lrwxr-xr-x 1 foo www 19 May 23 01:00 ./web -> /webserv/var/www/foo
