i solve this issue by changing the permissions of authorized_keys file to 600 on node2 but
it displaying warning message

warning: no xauth data; using fake identification data for X11 forwaring

waiting for any input to avoid this error message also

Step 1 - Generate the key-pair using "ssh-keygen" as the user you want to use to ssh between hosts

Step 2 - look in <user_home>/.ssh - copy the contents of the ".pub" key into the remote hosts <user_home>/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file

Step 3 - Repeat for the other host if you want 2 way ssh

When rebuilding systems and keeping the same host name and IP, you will also have to remove that host entry from the <user_home>/.ssh/known_hosts file as well. You should be able to ssh between the 2 hosts without a passwords.

Hi y2kram

i already performed step 1 - step 3 and without password i could able to ssh to node2 .this is the sequence of the warning message

could you explain this point:
"When rebuilding systems and keeping the same host name and IP, you will also have to remove that host entry from the <user_home>/.ssh/known_hosts file as well. You should be able to ssh between the 2 hosts without a passwords."

Have you looked at the debug info using -vv?
# ssh -vv rac2 date
