You'll have to implement something equivalent with RewriteCond(s) like RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$1 -d Adjust as needed to verify that the user (or his home directory) actually exists. You could also run a cron job every night and check if ~user/public_html exists and build a RewriteMap or use a script as an external rewriting program for a RewriteMap. rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
