Depends on what you mean by "see", but why don't you make each user's directory mode 700, owned by them, and make all higher-level directories mode 711 (read/write/execute by root, execute only for group and world). This way nobody but root will be able to list any directories, but they'll still be able to open files and execute binaries in them, if they know the paths. - Gene Stark
