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?

Not from my directions. If he just used what I provided, he didn't even need that...
echo '192.168.1.92 salt' >> /etc/hosts -
@scottalanmiller OK i said i followed your instructions, yes. because i did the first time. thats what I put when i was doing the install, at that point, thats what i put in the box

echo '192.168.1.92 salt' >> /etc/hostsIndeed no need to use a text editor directly when using that method

Check your hosts file content
cat /etc/hosts -

Did you remember to update the IP address that you echo'd in with the real one, not one from a generic sample? I see the sample IP address in the hosts file, but not your IP address. When using examples, you can't use the specific addresses shown, they will always be specific to your setup.
