The quick way to get an answer is: find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; and examine files listed.
Surely you want a pattern in there somewhere?
Without one, that command never terminates - grep will sit there interpreting the value of {} as a pattern and trying to read from stdin:
$ find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; &
$ ps ax | grep grep 1849 pts/48 S+ 0:00 find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; 1850 pts/48 S+ 0:00 grep -l /etc/motd
Been doing that for a while now...
