Some of this looks like NetServer - I'm guessing here, but the SMB prefix is Samba, I think. The ZLS prefix is related to QZLSFILE, which are the prestart jobs that handle file shares. The RM prefix is probably Resource Management.

The P0 might be hooked up with some of the new Unix-type APIs - there are lots of QP0* programs.

Are you using a thin client? The BOOTP in there suggests that to me.

Where in memory does the link loader put all these task names? It'd be kind of "fun" to look at that area with SST. (Knees knock on cue)

Now, back to work.

What the heck is MASOSERVICETASK?

It's a task that I see running in WRKSYSACT, but I don't recognize it,
and a whole bunch of other weird tasks are happening.

I've got MASOSERVICETASK, P0FEVALUATOR, RMTMSAFETASK and RMSRVCTKLO all
running.  I wait a bit, and IDELANRBOOTP runs.  SMBSCAVENGER,
ZLSHOSTANNOUNCE, VTMTS0008, and a host of other jobs all run like mad
for a little while.  This was in addition to the usual characters like
CFINT01, SMPL001 and SMPO001.  They're all gone now, except for
RMTMSAFETASK and CFINT01, but for awhile it was mayhem on my machine,
and nothing to show for it in QHST.
