chown
this problem seem very stupid (and of course it is!!), but i'm not able to change the owner of a directory!!!
Command used
chown -R user:group filename
I have
chown: filename: bad argument
what's wrong? I also checked the man pages but without any result.
Thanks

Re: chown
What is the filename? Is it a directory name? Try:
chown -R user:group filename/*

Re: chown
Does chgrp -R :users /home/tarek work?
What are /home permissions?
Did you try on some other directory?

Re: chown
Just remember that you CANNOT change the ownership of a file that does not belong to you (unless you're root).
Try to login as root and...
chown -R tarek /home/tarek/*
