      @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

      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.

        and this is what i get

        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.

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

                  ifconfig is the command from the olden days (like many months ago), the current command is...

                  ip addr

                    The ip of your salt master.

                            Try to post the results your commands, this way its easier for everyone to troubleshoot.

                                      @WrCombs you forgot to add the hostname after the ip address when appending to the hosts file. That is why both 192.168.1.97 and .94 dont have one, we have to fix this before moving on.

                                      # You ran
                                      echo "192.168.1.94" >> /etc/hosts
                                      
                                      #Should've been
                                      echo "192.168.1.94 salt" >> /etc/hosts
                                      

                                      We are going to have to edit the file and add the hostname
