Re: [HTCondor-users] Windows XP computer matched but idle

this error

   11/19/12 12:22:51 (pid:2128) condor_read() failed: recv(fd=484) 
returned -1, errno = 10054 , reading 5 bytes from startd 
slot1@xxxxxxxxxx  <remote ip:1074> for me.

is what it looks like when the other side of the connection is refusing 
to talk because of HTCondor security.
if you enable D_SECURITY in the StartdLog on the execute node, you 
should see a corresponding message
about why it dropped the connection.

If you are using host-based security (which is the default).
I would expect it's because the execute node's ALLOW_WRITE does not 
include the SCHEDD.
