httpd conf on RH 3

[Edward Iglesias]

Greetings All,
    I am having some difficulty configuring Apache on Red Hat Enterprise 
Server 3.  I can browse the /var/www/html directory just fine and have 
no problem using ssh to connect.   Thew problem comes when I add users 
to the system.  Their directories return 404s

 I have tried adding

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks Includes ExecCGI
XBitHack on
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

right after  Document Root to no effect.  I also added 

UserDir "public_html"

I feel I am missing something pretty basic.  Any ideas?
