Error: no ricci tag in ricci response

All,

I'm having two issues with a new cluster I set up that may be related to each other. The cluster.conf is transposed from a working cluster with various things (names/ips) changed to make it appropriate. I do not believe what I'm seeing is related.

When I run a ccs command, and am prompted for my ricci password it sits and spins for a while and then posts out:

Error: no ricci tag in ricci response

On other clusters this would work, and once the password was used it would be stored for future use. However for something as simple as "ccs --lsnodes -h localhost" i get nothing but that.

I can't find any blip in any logs as to why it's doing that. It seems as if it's failing to authenticate to itself. I've confirmed the ricci password numerous times, and it's happening across all 3 nodes of this cluster build out.

Google searches are getting me no where with this error.

Any assistance as to what to look into would be appreciated.
