I think the behavior that he is looking for is the old behavior that
Novell Netware used to exhibit - if you don't have any permissions at all,
it wouldn't list the directory anywhere (at least in windows-type file
browsers):
james@agard:~/s$ su
Password:
agard:/home/james/s# touch c
agard:/home/james/s# chmod 600 c
agard:/home/james/s# mkdir b
agard:/home/james/s# mkdir a
agard:/home/james/s# chmod 700 a
agard:/home/james/s# ls -alR
.:

exit
james@agard:~/s$ ls -alR

So in the user directory listing above, he doesn't want the directory a or
the file c to be displayed at all (since the user doing the ls has no
permissions on either).
