[cobalt-users] valid user name for chmod

[Step Firth <step@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, further to my quota exceeded problem of yesterday,
I have been making sure that files are owned by the user the site admin, rather than who uploaded them before I moved them about....

and the site in question, has an admin user 'snc.admin'
my telnet won't give that user the files....
[root@nogbad web]# chown snc.admin /*/swf/*
chown: snc.admin: invalid user
if I ls -l files the user already owns, they are reported as belonging to 'snc.admi'
I cannot give that user the files either (just in cast it was not just a display truncate.

Is it the full stop (period) that is causing the issue? If so, whyyyy? and how do I?

Cheers
