Salt Minion Problems
- 
 Salt Master will not allow me to delete the keys that are in there. I did a delete all and it said that it was, but it failed. 
- 
 okay. what do i need to do to fix it? sorry for the headache guys 
- 
 well it looks like Scott fixed most of the problems. ( ish ) I just logged on to the server and all the things he pointed out as wrong, arent there anymore

 @scottalanmiller said in Salt Minion Problems: @Dashrender said in Salt Minion Problems: All this because you use another DNS that's not part of the project and it has overlapping details for other testers/production. lol No, you would need this to be correct either way. I'm sorry - correct what either way? If he had no DNS entry for salt, sure it would fail and he would be told to put entries in /etc/hosts but since there was a working salt server in DNS, things appear to work, but really aren't going where expected... So having an over lapping lab just made the situation harder - ultimately learning more I guess.

( ish ) I just logged on to the server and all the things he pointed out as wrong, arent there anymore Don't be - this is learning, sometimes you break things. Sometimes you don't. Scott digging into what you were doing exactly can be helpful in making guides that help future people learn with a little less pain. @scottalanmiller can you pull a log of all of the commands he ran and perhaps find things like how the hosts file was completely doubled?

- 
 @scottalanmiller id agree with that, but inly because i thought i was doing one thing. While doing something completely different..

 vi is a killer, one wrong key press and anything might happen.
