I hide it via a launch daemon and a script

I have SetFile packaged up and deploy.

/usr/bin/SetFile -a V /Users

Good security I think. We have a lot of computer sharing going on so it's not a bad thing.

Not necessarily the proper way, just a different way!

But yes chflags means less messing about.
