Ah, okay. A slightly bad example. How about 0711 (now a home
directory, say /home/lewiz). I would like to have a public_html
directory that is generally accessible.
Since /home/lewiz is now executable is it not possible for somebody to
do, say, cat /home/lewiz/.cshrc? They know the file is there (but can't
use ls to see it) so can access it.
Sorry for all these questions ;)
