Description of problem: Salt-minion is not connecting to the Salt master at boot time and remains unresponsive until the daemon is restarted. The systemd unit for salt-minion says "After=network.target" but not "After=network-online.target". So the daemon is started in parallel with the process which negotiates the network (which is managed by NetworkManager and is configured to use DHCP) and comes up before the network is ready. "systemctl status salt-minion" says this: Oct 18 12:53:05 tw01 systemd[1]: Starting The Salt Minion... Oct 18 12:53:05 tw01 systemd[1]: Started The Salt Minion. Oct 18 12:53:06 tw01 salt-minion[2875]: [ERROR ] DNS lookup or connection check of 'salt' failed. Oct 18 12:53:06 tw01 salt-minion[2875]: [ERROR ] Master hostname: 'salt' not found or not responsive. Retrying in 30 seconds ...but the current time is 13:20 and this "retry in 30 seconds" never happened. If I now restart the service while the system is online, it initialises successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): salt-minion-3003.3-1.fc34.noarch
