Yeah I though maybe permissions but I also adjusted those. This is
whats really strange look at the output of this:

#ls -la /etc
total 900
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Jul 24 17:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 0 0 4096 Jul 22 17:00 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 11 Jul 22 17:00 group
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 245 Jul 22 17:00 hosts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 24120 Jul 22 17:00 ld.so.cache
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 28 Jul 22 17:00 ld.so.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4096 Jul 22 17:00 ld.so.conf.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 1696 Jul 22 17:00 nsswitch.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 144 Jul 24 17:04 passwd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 66 Jul 22 17:00 resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 807103 Jul 22 17:00 termcap

it doesn't even seem to be able to translate the name/groups in the
directory listing.
