Salvador Ortiz Garcia, who happens to be smarter than you, thinks:

  $ chown user.group archive
  chown: `user.group' syntax is obsolete; use `:' since this will be
  removed in the future

  $ chown --version
  chown (coreutils) 5.2.1
  Written by David MacKenzie and Jim Meyering.

  $ chown user.group archive
  chown: separation of user and group with a period is deprecated

  $ uname -v
  FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 27 17:51:09 GMT 2003

COMPATIBILITY
Previous versions of the chown utility used the dot (``.'') character to distinguish 
the group name.  This has been changed to be a colon (``:'') character so that user 
and group names may contain the dot character.

STANDARDS
The chown utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compliant.

GNU DETAILS
The  GNU  version  allows a dot instead of a colon (following BSD).
[This was not allowed by POSIX since a dot is a valid character in a user name.]


De cualquier manera, parece que esa desviación BSDera incluso en BSD (como
en Linux) esta cambiando para apegarse a Posix.

That's what she said.
