That is extremely strange.
Do a 'which less' and then 'ls -al <wherever less is located>'. Make sure
that less isn't linked to ls or something similar.
On the face of it, it should work.

less several other text files.
Same one-column directory listing for both root and a user, with an
indication at the bottom of the screen/terminal window of the number
of
lines. So it certainly looks like less, only it won't show the file.
