System users and Apache

I've seen this used a lot while browsing the web

http://domain.com/~system_user_name

I thought it was cute to say the least, and figured I'd query the neutral god Google to see if I could find any documentation of allowing system users to have web subdirectories.
But I wasn't able to find anything, and I know at one point I had the documentation for it.

I'm not new to *nix jargon, so there shouldn't be need to simplify a response. : )
I appreciate your time.

Good step in the right direction.
Apparently, all it really took was making sure I had the module Userdir installed, then making a <IfModule> tag in the httpd.conf.

If anyone else is interested:
Apache module mod_userdir
