You could set this in your httpd.conf... An example ensues:
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
# Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
# <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
# </Limit>
# <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# </LimitExcept>
#</Directory>
ALSO NOTE: In your WHM's setup, (Main >> Server Configuration >> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup) make sure that the following are set:
Default Home Directory: /home
Home Directory Prefix: home (without the slash)
