Hi Robert,
Ah - it is. Bingo. Thanks for the lead, I'll be testing that shortly.

Please check that /tmp does not have the noexec mount option set.
Had that issue on specially secured images.

Betreff: [uyuni-users] Problem running remote commands with Centos 8
Hello, Spacewalk orphan looking for new home here.
New Leap 15.2 and Uyuni 2020.07 install.
On bootstrapping a Centos 8 client, I hit some snags initially, and needed to install salt-minion on the client, which in turn needed a new repo adding.
yum install https://repo.saltstack.com/py3/redhat/salt-py3-repo-latest.el8.noarch.rpm
yum install salt-minion
This installs salt-minion 3001-1.el8 plus dependencies.
This allowed me to bootstrap through the Uyuni web interface and add the client successfully using the salt method.
However, when running a remote command, such as "touch /tmp/i_exist.txt" (actual path doesn't matter), this fails with
stderr:
/bin/sh: /tmp/__salt.tmp.jir6xlhr.sh: Permission denied
Googling tells me this is a salt error rather than a Uyuni one, but as Uyuni set up salt-minion I'm hoping to gain a solution here.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
