Actually, the "local host name" not "localhost" must be in your boot  
schema and has always had to be in your boot schema (even for RSH).   
The current patch for LAM and bproc-4 support isn't going to work.  I  
need to figure out what the "right" way to identify an IP address as  
belonging to a master node is and to figure out why bproc_nodeinfo  
keeps returning -1 on me.  I'm kind of hoping one of the LANL guys will  
just tell me I'm being stupid and correct my evil ways ;).
