Something like this:
<Directory /export/home>
...
require valid-user
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /export/home/%1/$1
This actually hides the users' directory name, which may or not be
what you want. Also be careful about what happens if REMOTE_USER is
empty.
