Try ls -ld /etc to show the folder itself instead of its contents, maybe it has weird permissions.

Try ls -ld /etc to show the folder itself instead of its contents, maybe it has weird permissions.

that gave the following:

Code:
root@server-# ls -ld /etc
drwxr-xr-x 138 root root 12288 may 11 17:20 /etc
