Is the problem still something like this:
----
[say_at_wolf45 tmp]$ mpirun -np 2 --host wolf45,wolf46 /tmp/test.x
orted: Command not found.
-----
Because if so, it's a larger / non-MPI issue. If the orted
executable cannot be found on the remote node, there's no way Open
MPI will succeed.
The question of *why* the orted can't be found may be a bit deeper of
a problem -- if you have your PATH set right, etc., perhaps it's an
NFS issue...?

It also slows the code down a bit such that the timing is different.

I would doubt that the ras is involved in the issue -- the ras is
used to read hostfiles, analyze lists of hosts from resource
managers, etc. It doesn't actually do anything in the actual launch.

I assume you're using the RSH launcher; you can use the ompi_info
command to see what parameters are available for that component:
ompi_info --param pls rsh
