You can set up a custom route like this (Cake 1.2 alpha):
Router::connect('/:username', array('controller' => 'users', 'action'
=> 'showUserPage'));
This will connect all Urls http://domain/USERNAME to the controller
users and the action showUserPage.
The username part of the url is then available via $this-
>params['username'].
Please note that this serves as kind of catchall - no matter what you
specify in the url, it will be routed to your users controller. So if
you need other controllers, you need to specify the route to these
controllers before this route but as mentioned before in this case you
can't have users with the same name as these controllers.
