So I have the salt master running on a server in my infrastructure and a few keys sitting there either accepted or unaccepted or... Either rejected or denied. My question is:

What's the difference between rejected or denied keys?:

Denied Keys:
server1
...
Rejected Keys:
server2

Just to let you know, I've done some searching around, and I haven't found anything about what these mean. I keep coming up with results that have to do with completely different stuff.

Rejected means a minion is rejected by salt-key command in salt-master.

A key is Denied when a minion is trying to connect the master with a different key than the previous accepted (tends to happen with two minions with the same name, one is accepted, the other tends to be denied)
