Boundaries? Like if its a link to a different mount?
No:
>mkdir foo
>ls -ld foo
drwxr-xr-x 2 alex users 40 Jul 9 10:44 foo/

To read the contents of a directory (/bin/ls, opendir/readdir), you need read permissions, the "r" bit, 4 in the usual octal numbers.
To "cross" the directory, e.g. make it the current directory or just use it in a path, you need execute permissions, the "x" bit, 1 in the usual octal numbers.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
