What do you mean 'if someone is searching for them'?

Do you mean that when an ordinary user executes a command like
Code:
ls -l

the output does not have ownership or permissions?

Or just within this script?

You don't need individual permissions for each file, just set directory permissions for the parent directory. With the right permissions, only owners can read and / or write to the directory, and the same for groups. To keep the 'world' out, set 'other' to '0' (zero).
