That's not 100% reliable. e.g., Internet Explorer allows you to turn off
redirects and if you're setting up a virtual site of www.xyz.com anyway,
there's not much point then of redirecting to abc.com/~user. The method
I describe saves you setting up an entirely new virtual site. You can
also add xyz.com as an email alias to abc.com site settings so they
share the same users and email aliases.

It works just like any virtual site. You can even put in ScriptAlias so
that both sites share the same CGI-BIN directory.
Plenty of details on it in the archives.
I haven't tried it, but according to Jeff Lassman, since access.conf and
srm.conf are now handled the same in the version of Apache in use on the
RaQ, you could add the virtual host container in access.conf instead if
you don't want to mess with httpd.conf.
