Default UserDir disabled root recommendation question Apache 1.3.27

In the Security Tips documentation, it is recommended that the
following line be included in the httpd.conf file:

UserDir disabled root

In the httpd.conf file, the following appears:

# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's
home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
# Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
# <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
# </Limit>
# <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# </LimitExcept>
#</Directory>

Where does the UserDir disabled root line get inserted in the above?

Thanks in advance!
