ls -d option (ls ver 4.0x)

[Daniel G. Newell]

I am using Red Hat 7.0 Linux distribution (kernel version 2.2.16-22).

When I execute the command "ls -dl" information about only the pwd is
printed, for example here is the output of the comman when the pwd is /
:

drwxr-xr-x   17 root     root         4096 Jan 30 13:02 .

What I expect to see is:

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jan 23 17:13 bin
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         1024 Jan 30 13:02 boot
drwxr-xr-x   11 root     root        98304 Jan 30 13:08 dev
drwxr-xr-x   39 root     root         4096 Jan 30 17:40 etc
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Dec 17 16:11 home
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Jan 24 01:24 lib
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        16384 Dec 17 15:48 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Dec 17 15:50 mnt
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Aug 23  1999 opt
dr-xr-xr-x   72 root     root            0 Jan 30 06:02 proc
drwxr-x---   15 root     root         4096 Jan 31 01:13 root
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jan 24 01:23 sbin
drwxrwxrwt   11 root     root         4096 Jan 30 23:01 tmp
drwxr-xr-x   18 root     root         4096 Jan 23 17:12 usr
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     root         4096 Jan 23 16:25 var

All working directories yield the same results.

Best regards,
