5.5.3. The UserDir Directive

The UserDir directive is disabled by default because it can confirm the presence of a user account on the system. To enable user directory browsing on the server, use the following directives:

 UserDir enabled UserDir disabled root 

These directives activate user directory browsing for all user directories other than /root/. To add users to the list of disabled accounts, add a space delimited list of users on the UserDir disabled line.
