Like I mentioned before it works on my boxen, dont understand why yours would act differently.

Now that I think about it, it could be the folder name having the period causing the problem.
Try to chown the path

chown user.abc /home/user.abc

chown <user> <filename>

If they need to belong to a certain group then

chgrp <group> <filename>

I just created a user with a . in it test.123 created a files then chown the file to that user and it worked :confused: with the .

Ah I see, but wouldnt an easier way have been to create a normal name and then alias it? Kinda the other way around?

Well not to be an *** but who creates user names with a . in it anyway?
