Wat I meant to say was, is the mod_perl working the way I config'd it?  But 
what I have done since, is totally disable mod_perl and attempt to do a backup 
from the host.  Still no joy and the ping failure is increasing each attempt.

No, it always causes grief.

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

The configured ping command is:

$pingPath -c 1 -w 3 $host

and from the command line on the server:
/bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 129.15.78.102
PING 129.15.78.102 (129.15.78.102) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 129.15.78.102: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=1.46 ms

--- 129.15.78.102 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.469/1.469/1.469/0.000 ms, pipe 2

and on the host it can ping back to the server as well from a command prompt.

Hmmmmmmm....

Ideas?


Thanks!
