I would definitely follow Matthias' suggestion, however I can
offer a quick, short term semi-solution.

Chmod your /home/ dir 751.  Even though you can cd to /home/, you
won't be able to get a directory listing.  You can take this on step
further and chmod /home/user/ dirs 751 also.  This will prevent those
who have already discovered the directory listing from listing the
contents of specific user home directories.

Keep in mind this is in no way secure.  It's just a quick step to
fend off the less knowledgeable, but nosy users you have.  Someone
with a little bit of Linux knowledge will easily get around this.
