This way it worked fine: chown -v "this.is.avery.long.username":"this.is.avery.long.username" /tmp/test1

Notes: if I pass the username and group to chown, it fails. I have to use like this: # touch /tmp/test1 # chown root.root /tmp/test1 # chown -v this.is.avery.long.username /tmp/test1 # chgrp -v this.is.avery.long.username /tmp/test1
Thanks for the comments, Oliver
