One way is this

There will be a directive called UserDir in httpd.conf which gets appended to the user's root represented by ~

For example if you are storing thisuser's web pages in /home/thisuser/www then you can put UserDir www for enabling the access http://userssite/~thisuser

Just put a different directory there instead of www and it will return a 404

Disable mod_userdir on your httpd.conf.
