If you don't want them to know the home directories exist then you're
out of luck -- they're listed in /etc/passwd
(or your YP maps, whatever).
if you just want to fool 'ls' then go a level up and do
chmod 711 .
in other words, if home directories are off of /home then
chmod 711 /home
means ls /home
won't work.
