Not commenting on chown functionality but supplying a (perhaps better because more portable) workaround. > saso@avani:~/temp > chown -v --from=saso:users saso:saso cobiss Try this? find ./cobis -user saso -group users -print | xargs chown saso:saso And if you are using the GNU version use the extensions for robustness. find ./cobis -user saso -group users -print0 | xargs -0r chown saso:saso The 'find' command is much better at searching the filesystem and implementing control flow.
