Aha! It is all good and working. I uncommented NameVirtualHost like so:
NameVirtualHost www.swjedi.net
My users vitual directories are then like so:
<VirtualHost furbs.swjedi.net>
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_files/furbs/
ServerAdmin furbs@swjedi.net
ServerName furbs.swjedi.net
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
</VirtualHost>
I havn't tested this externally yet, but it does work on my internet net. I
will follow up after I have tested it externally and have it working.
