@WrCombs you need a text editor to open the file

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

Indeed 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.

What this command means is, insert 192.168.1.92 into the end of the file /etc/hosts'. Every time you run it it will just append whatever you have in quotations into the file.

Also remember to first check if that ip is really the ip of the salt master.

Are you sure you did that on the right box? I don't see any echo command in the command history.

This is really a great crash course in linux commands

That one is, in the source, it was not. I modified it when I put it here.
