When I launched several simple condor job, I found that these jobs were running on head node instead of other 40 nodes. I add "RANK=....." to force the job to run on other node, but it still ran on the head node. I tried to ssh to other node from head node, but failed.

Which universe are you using?
What does "condor_status -t" tell you? Are there any other machines available at all?
If yes, check the Negotiator and Match Logs for more information.

ssh isn't required for Condor to work.
