Ah, I see - yeah, the parameter technically is being renamed to 
"orte_rsh_agent" to avoid having users need to know the internal topology of 
the code base (i.e., that it is in the plm framework and the rsh component). It 
will always be there, though - only the name is changing to protect the 
innocent. :-)
