Hi,
I'd prefer to use "NEGOTIATOR_SLOT_CONSTRAINT" on the negotiator.
The final effect is the same (the nodes won't get any job) but it looks 
a bit less hackish.
Moreover you will still see the nodes in the collector, allowing you to 
monitor their status.
Remember to issue a "condor_reconfig -negotiator" after editing the 
configuration file, in order for the modifications to take effect.

Cheers,
David
