[salt-users] How to delete the old key？

[yao]

My master veriosn is 2014.1.4,minion version is 2014.1.4.
In my master configfile I set 'auto_accept: True'
At the beginningI set 'id' default in /etc/salt/minion.

But when I set 'id: minion's ip',and restart minion.I can see two key when
I run 'salt-key list' one is hostname one is ip.

If i have one hundred or more minions,How to delete the hostname key
automatically.

Hello,

I can see two key when I run 'salt-key list' one is hostname one is ip.

Using IP as minion_id is bad idea I suggest you start using:

1. UUID
2. MAC Address

If i have one hundred or more minions,How to delete the hostname

key automatically.

This is architecture problem of SALT, most key have no information about
what is that key reference.
But you can just remove anything and wait until all key already accepted.

Salt has no idea that those two keys are the same minion.

So you have a couple of options. Either you can delete the keys manually
(this is the safest way), or you can use `salt-run manage.down
removekeys=True`. This will ping all the minions, and those that don't
respond in a timely manner will have their keys deleted.
