Description of Issue/Question###

Logging in with root user to do all this.

Installed OpenSUSE Leap 15 and used zypper up and rebooted

Installed zypper salt-master
Installed zypper salt-minion
Installed zypper salt-api
Added all salt-keys

All salt components are the latest version of 2018.

At this point, salt works fine with no errors, tested using various salt commands and saw no issues in logs.

Here is where it comes apart.....

Installed DeepSea after cloning from GitHub as instructed.

salt master immediate fails and constantly logs this in /var/log/salt/master...

File permissions did not seem to change from before DeepSea install.

Even restarting services or rebooting has no effect.

The master.d directory should be owned by 'salt:salt'.

try a chown -R salt:salt /etc/salt/master.d
