@WrCombs by default a salt minion will try communicate with a master named salt.

Here is how to see the firewall rules for the public zone...
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all -
@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:
That looks wrong
That's going after the public master, not your own. -
That would explain it refusing the key, you are contacting a different Salt Master. You need to go into /etc/hosts and put in an entry for your own Salt master.

@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:
This is one of the reasons your salt-master doesn't register the minions key

Did you follow the minion installation instructions? Setting "salt" in /etc/hosts was part of the instructions.

@scottalanmiller yes.. but it wont let me said permission denied

If you get permission denied, you don't just ignore it and think things will work. You stop and address the issue at the time. You attempted to run the hosts file as a command, which it is not, it is a text file that is not executable. Where in my directions did it say to "run" the file that you are to edit?
