I have a folder under the /etc directory.
This folder and files contained in it has to be accessed by every user beloning to myGroup group.
I correctly set permissions: every file in this directory gives me, after

ls -l

my file owner myGroup

this goes for every subfolder (I manually set this for each file/folder).

Anyway, if I type

cat /etc/myFolder/example.txt

It tells me that I don't have anough permissions.
I think this is due to the fact that /etc folder belongs to the root. But I don't want to change group to the /etc folder too! And I need that folder to stay there!

How to solve this problem?

edit:
output of

ls -ld /etc/myFolder/ /etc/myFolder/example.txt

gives me

drwxr-xr-x 2 root myGroup 4096 feb 26 12:10 /etc/myFolder/

-r-------- 1 root myGroup 1204 feb 26 12:10 /etc/myFolder/example.txt
