Can anyone explain this:

/etc/namedb is a link to another directory, don't use the trailing
/ in the ls -ld.  So, in this case, you need to add -follow to find.


there is nothing odd about the directories:
  # ls -dl  /etc/namedb/  /etc/ppp/
  drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  512 Nov 13 17:35 /etc/namedb/
  drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  8 17:36 /etc/ppp/


All well & good; we'll assume the OP missed the fact that this is a symlink. What seems interesting to me, though (and it's probably just the fact that I'm a relative *Nix newb), why this?

Certainly doesn't *seem* to be mentioned in ls(1).

If you explain so clearly that nobody can misunderstand, somebody
will.
