Title
Error: "No Ping response received from host" -
Description
Occasionaly when running Privilege Manager Commands you receive the error No Ping response received from host.
-
Cause
This issue can occur on Redhat masters as by default per_source is set to 10.
-
Resolution
Open /etc/xinetd.conf and set the per_source variable to a higher value, this can be set to UNLIMITED if required but a reasonable value would be 20. If you still find this issue occuring raise the limit again. Please note UNLIMITED needs to be entered in Uppercase.
To apply the change run # service xinetd restart

Additional Information
The following Redhat KB provides more information on limiting the number of connections to telnet, this is applicable to applications that run under xinetd like Privilege Manager.
