... and that works! Thanks!
Any idea why the rule is needed for a redirection by a ping command
run by the root account? And if this is a FAQ, where is the best
place to cut my teeth on this?
ping runs under the ping_t domain and it is not allowed to write to the
home dir. When you redirect in shell, shell has the application open
the file which is not allowed. A hack to get around this problem is
ping XYZ | cat > /home/dwalsh/myping
