Subject: Mystery jobs


> Every now and then, I see many job logs (sometimes as many as 800) on our
system that are all identical and have a date/time stamp within a few
minutes time.  I am trying to find out what kind of jobs these are and who
is submitting them.
>
> I am copying one of the job logs below.  Does anyone know what kind of job
this user is trying to run?  (I can see that the job is trying to call the
LPD.)  Are they really trying to submit 800 different jobs?  Or is this
something coming from the internet and I am getting a job log for each line
of a print job that is trying to print?
>
> Also, I don't have a clue who belongs to the IP address listed in the job
logs. The last time (a couple of weeks ago) that I saw these job logs, the
IP address was different. Is there any way to tell who this is?
