There is no easy way to do this.  A difficult way is

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS)
RewriteRule ^/publishers/[^/]*/?(.*) /publishers/%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}/$1

<Location /publishers>
Require valid-user
...
</Location>

This is untested, and it probably has some errors, but it may give you an
idea.  Note that it allows any authenticated user to access any url under
publishers, but it silently puts them in their own directory no matter
where they tried to access.  A perhaps cleaner way to do it would be to
simply use

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS)
RewriteRule ^/publishers/(.*) /publishers/%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}/$1

and then all publishers would access the same URL but would be put in the
correct directory based on their username.

Also note that apache 1.3 has "require file-owner" and "require
file-group" configurations in mod_auth.  But I don't think they will do
what you want.
