i get the following output:

-rw-rw-r--    1 portal   root            0 May 26 14:57 myfile

after I did:

[portal portal]$ echo "#!/bin/sh">/home/sites/mytestecho "#!/bin/sh">/ 
home/sites/mytest
[portal portal]$
[portal portal]$ echo "/bin/sh">/home/sites/www.afser.de/users/portal/ 
mytest
[portal portal]$ echo '#!/bin/sh'>/home/sites/www.afser.de/users/ 
portal/mytest
[portal portal]$ echo "touch /tmp/myfile">>/home/sites/www.afser.de/ 
users/portal/mytest
[portal portal]$ chgrp site76 /home/sites/www.afser.de/users/portal/ 
mytest
[portal portal]$
[portal portal]$ chmod 2755 /home/sites/www.afser.de/users/portal/mytest
[portal portal]$ /home/sites/www.afser.de/users/portal/mytest


So I guess it did not work?
