RAC : User equivalence check failed

Question

Hi All,
Platform linux CentOS 4.5 and oracle 10g.
I facing an issue with " user equivalence failed" while executing cluvfy command. On accessing node 2 from node 1 using ssh it is asking for password(oracle user) after configuring SSH. I have configured RAC earlier also but this time i could not figure out the issue with SSH.
I have removed SSH client and installed it fresh and try to configure however faced the same result.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
regards,
Shaan

Hi,
I have deletd ~/.ssh (rm -fr) directory which contained dsa,rsa,dsa.pub,rsa.pub and known_hosts. Yes i'm using vmware server 1.02.
I have configured RAC earlier using same vmware and os version.
key creation
=========
*both nodes
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa
mkdir ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
from node 1
ssh node1 cat ~/.ssh/dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh node1 cat ~/.ssh/rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh node2 cat ~/.ssh/dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh node2 cat ~/.ssh/rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
scp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys node2:.ssh/authorized_keys
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SHELL
/usr/bin/ssh-add
Please let me know if i missed out any step
regards,
Shaan
