I set the minion's name when I created the VM.

So i didnt set the name, because it was already set..
What do we need to Fix this now?

Should i forget and reaccept the key? is that possible?

No, the key with the minion's name never appeared.

could i go in and edit it to give the minion name to the key?

@scottalanmiller what is it gonna take to fix it?

Do I have to go into and redo it?

keys has been accepted

Try running

salt '*' test.ping

The minions name seems wrong, it should be the hostname of the machine. Didn't pay attention to that when we accepted the key.

the minions name is what i set it to. following mr. scotts instructions on the thread
