I'm afraid that won't do much.  All he has to do is remove the directory
and make a new one.  You can make it immutable, but you don't want to do
that unless you want to.

In Apache 1.3, you can disable specific ~userdirs.  See the mod_userdir
docs for details.  You can't do this in 1.2.

Otherwise, you can add something like:

<Directory /home/user/public_html>
deny from all
AllowOverride none
</Directory>

to your config file.  /home/user has to be what ~user is.  It may be
/usr/home or /home or something else in your passwd file.  It must be what
is in the passwd file, it is not enough for it to be a symlink to the same
place.
