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.
-
@scottalanmiller check what does salt have as the minion_id as well, it is in /etc/salt/minion_id
-
Also found the /etc/hosts file had a full double copy of itself in the same file. No idea how that got there.
-
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

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.

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?

No really, it doesn't appear to work any more than if there is no entry at all.

My guess there is "vi mishap".
-
@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.

It's so easy, we've all done it.

Vim is as precise as a scalpel, don't blame it :D.

vi doesn't kill files, admins kill files.
