chown: warning: '.' should be ':': 'IDIOT.users'
Does anyone no Why this has become an ever changing parameter delimiter ?
Code:
For this same &/or simular delimiter changes , in the ch* user modification programs . Just seems Freek'n silly to me ... Thank You for some usable insight ! JimL |
It's been like this for awhile, if you are refering to replacement of "." with ":". https://serverfault.com/questions/19...group-in-chown

That is a rather insulting warning. Perhaps the user should be called something less mean, like "silly" or something?
|
I see no insult with that.

@All , I've been using '.' as a user.group seperator for many years !
Because no users name could contain a '.' in it as it would , way back when , confuse the Shell that I had put a hostname to it to be parsed AND could not be used in an email address , Thus could not be a users name . Maybe that tells you how long I've been pecking on keyboards ?-) And maybe what the first os I might have worked on was ?-) Gnuff gnarled ;-) JimL |

If you really want to be insulted, use sudo a few times with the wrong password!

Here is a test run with chown:
Code:
~# ls -l pinxi |
