+<h3>Tricks of the Trade</h3>
 <p>You can make a single node appear to SLURM as a Linux cluster by manually 
 defining <b>HAVE_FRONT_END</b> to have a non-zero value in the file <b>config.h</b>.
-All nodes should be defined in the <b>slurm.conf</b> file to have a <b>NodeAddr</b>

+All (fake) nodes should be defined in the <b>slurm.conf</b> file.
+These nodes should be configured with a single <b>NodeAddr</b> value
+indicating the node on which single <span class="commandline">slurmd</span> daemon

+<span class="commandline">slurmctld</span> daemon. Do not initiate too many 
+simultaneous job steps to avoid overloading the 
+<span class="commandline">slurmd</span> daemon executing them all.</p>
