well, the fact that you have two of them, one in /etc
and another one in /usr/local/etc suggests that you
did somehow manage to install the tools twice ...

you should not do that, the pathes are somewhat fixed
at compile time (see ./configure --help), so please
configure them there properly, try to get rid of _all_
installed versions and reinstall the tools from the
properly configured build ...

well, depends how you define stable ... kernel folks
call the 2.6.x.y releases stable ... the linux-vserver
patches/kernel is probably at least as stable than the
kernel ...
