We have a user ID that was setup for a vendor to have access to the system
when needed. It is usually disabled unless we grant access the vendor.

This morning we attempted to enable it and found that a process is
attempting to use the ID without success. The number of failed attempts was
at 29K and rising as I type this. I assume this is a system process of some
sort. The vendor claims it is not their software.

How can I determine where this is coming from? The system log only
indicates the following message, but does not give more info.

*SIGNON server job 411537/QUSER/QZSOSIGN processing request for user... snip

Thanks, Tim
