Philipp,

I had this problem at V4R5 also. Tracked it down to PCs using the AS400 as a print server.

It was mostly XP that had a block or packet problems that even though they weren't actively printing made the AS400 think they were continuously (every few minutes) opening a new connection without closing the previous one. This causes QNPSERVS jobs to spawn like crazy.

When you shutdown *NETSVR it closes all the connections and ends the jobs. There was a PTF for V5R1 and we moved to it before I found if they ever issued one for V4R5.

Jeff,
I had a similar problem, yet on a smaller system at V4R5.
Customer "lost" about 2 GB of DASD space per day.
I searched high and low, we even had calls to IBM and
investigated together with them and some PEX-tools and so on,
nothing ! Then I simply did stop server-jobs, one after each other.
I found out that stopping and restarting the netserver-job
immediately freed up that space so we included this in a
scheduled routine job for the night. ;-)
Never solved the cause of this, though.
When we finally went to V5 the problem disappeared.

HTH, Philipp
