It was already chown'd by mythtv. Not sure if the chmod is right:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mythtv mythtv     119 Feb 19 14:00 mythfillwithping.sh

How would I check selinux/apparmor? Don't see any logs and have never dealt
with them before.

The real head scratcher, as I said before, is why after three yrs is this
happening? In terms of internet connection/modem/etc, nothing has changed.
