Need some help from you AIX wizards out there.

I have a new TSM environment; there are 4 p-series servers, all at AIX 5.1
in 32bit mode.

One is a dedicated TSM server, with the unimaginative hostname of "TSM".
(OK, so we're not creative - that's why we have the techie jobs...)

The other 3 servers have hostnames like P6xxxx.

The TSM server is 5.1.6.3; the TSM clients are all 5.1.6.something.
The P6xxxx severs back up (incremental) to the TSM server nightly, on a
POLLING schedule.
Incrementals are all done by 2am.
The clients contact the server every 8 hours for work (queryschedperiod 8).
>From their dsmsched.log files, everything seems to be working fine.

Here's the problem:
On each of the P6xxxx hosts, (but not the TSM server), the syslog shows LOTS
of records like the ones below, coming every 20 minutes to an hour apart,
every day.

It appears that the TSM server is trying to contact them on some sort of
virtual terminal session?
There is no TELNET or FTP scheduled between the servers, and since nothing
is broke, I don't know what to look for to fix.  There is no process on any
machine named "TSM".  Rebooting the TSM server doesn't stop it.

Can anybody tell me what these records represent?  Thanks!
