Re: 'Junk' entries on a failed signon report

I'm doing some work on an audit journal based failed signon type report...
I've got a good workable version, but am finding several instances
throughout the month where I get a large volume of entries with an invalid
user name bouncing off the system in rapid succession (causing maybe 1000
entries or so). I'm trying to figure out what is triggering these... the
devices are plant based terminals on our campus (Powerterm 5250). I'll
post a few examples below... they look more like some type of glitch than
any real login attempt. The examples are an abbreviated listing from each
of the instances... in reality they take up 20-40 pages:

Since they are happening so quickly, a very wild guess would be that there's a barcode gun hooked to the terminal that is set to always on scanning. Someone puts a label with some numeric information on the table below the scanner and away it goes.
