find -type d returning files as well as directories

Can anyone see why the following command returns all files and not just the directories as specified?

find . -type d -exec ls -F {} \;

Also tried
find . -type d -name "" -exec ls -F {} \;
find . -type d -name "" -exec ls -F '{}' \; -print

Always returns all files :-\

OS is SUSEv10.
Thanks,
Mike.

your find looks for directories that exec ls -F display content (so files...)

So I should have used -d with the ls :

find . -type d -exec ls -dF {} \;

to make the ls just display the dir and not the contents.

Thanks,
