Salt Minion Problems

@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:

i asked and have been trying to do step 1.

The command for step one gave you an error about unaccepted keys? That's not right. Something wrong with that error message as that is a command only for accepted keys.

[scottalanmiller]

It does give that error though. That's messed up. How confusing is that?

[WrCombs]

@scottalanmiller which is why i think it gave me an error. however i have followed the steps, and im still getting the same error message on step 3 when i put the hostname in

That's because the correct key has not yet appeared:

# salt-key --list-all
Accepted Keys:
Denied Keys:
Unaccepted Keys:
ip-65-75-137-152.local
Rejected Keys:

@WrCombs wait.
let me retry that with the correct name

Won't work, the minion has not sent its key yet.

[WrCombs]

@WrCombs same error occurss

[WrCombs]

@Romo neither is mine now

[Romo]

@scottalanmiller shouldn't the salt-master have already sent its own key? In my vm the first key I accepted was the key my master.

This could mean there is something else that's wrong don't you think?

Which part? The master? That seems fine.

[Romo]

@scottalanmiller Yes, on my install the master shows fine on @WrCombs the master doesnt appear.

[scottalanmiller]

Don't rename the hosts, that's going to lead to more problems.

[scottalanmiller]

I'm rebooting to test something. For some reason, the Salt Master never showed up in the key list either. This implies something is certainly wrong.

@WrCombs By the way, do you remember if you did open the ports in the master?

[Romo]

All set on my install, I hadn't reloaded the firewall rules so that's why my minion could reach the master.

He did, I looked.

[scottalanmiller]

Here is his firewall...

# firewall-cmd --list-all
public (active)
  target: default
  icmp-block-inversion: no
  interfaces: eth0
  sources: 
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 4505-4506/tcp
  protocols: 
  masquerade: no

Here is the error message on the Salt Master's minion process:

Jan 31 20:32:37 salt salt-minion[901]: [ERROR   ] The Salt Master has cached the public key for this node, this salt minion will wait for 10 seconds before attempting to re-authenticate
