On a stock RedHat 9.0 Apache installation, it is enough to modify /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (following instructions from webdav.org) adding something like

<Location /home/www>
    DAV On
    <Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
        [AuthType, Require user, etc., etc.]
    </Limit>
</Location>

If however you have any CGI scripts accessed by POSTing forms under /home/www, the authentication required above will be requested for those, as well. A solution (suggested by Rainer Ziller) is to make an alias of /home/www, and apply the Location statement to that alias:

Alias /dav /home/www
