Maybe you could try running a shell script
that does a 'query session' every 5 minutes
and redirects the output to a log file.
That should tell you where all the sessions
come from.
Something like this should work:
--- CUT HERE ---
#!/usr/bin/ksh
while true
do
/usr/bin/dsmadmc -id="xxx" -pass="xxx" "q ses" >> mylogfile
sleep 300
done
---CUT HERE---
