Thanks tp those who responded.

<Directory /home/*/public_html> fixed my problem.

Please educate me. Considering that <Directory /*/public_html> worked a) for the previous older release, and b) for directories with an ndex.html file:
  1) What about this version caused these symptoms?
2) Exactly why did <Directory /home/*/public_html> fix the problem? Shouldn't <Directory /*/public_html> have fiailed before?

Again, thanks, in advance, for your guidance.

Charles

I am upgrading Apache from 1.2.6 to 2.2.3. Everything appears to be 
working except for users' public_html directories without an
index.html

displays the following error: 
 
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is 
either no index document or the directory is read-protected. 
Error 403. 
 
These are the latest configuration statements that I've tried: 
<Directory /*/public_html> 
 
That's almost certainly not correct since "*" does not match "/". You 
probably want <Directory /home/*/public_html> or something similar. 
 
Also, always check the error_log for more details about the problem.
