Comment # 2 on bug 1020831 from Bo Maryniuk

Please add a very clear and reproducible scenario what exactly you're doing.
Right now I see that your machine is pretty much mangled and something wrong is
happening that should not:

Jan 19 10:42:41 ip-10-1-0-206 salt-master[1953]: socket.error: [Errno 13]
Permission denied

Likely something hijacking your socket and surely master won't go through that.
