[ossig] Security Question

I was testing my streamyx connection and try to see what packet is 
going through ipfilter (with tcpdump).  At one time I forgot to specify 
the interface and as a result my ppp0 interface was put into 
promiscuous mode and listen to the traffic for about 1 min or so. After 
that I notice the following strange entry in the logs.

Jul 27 15:22:28 ionstorm login[3808]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR   
, Authentication failure
Jul 27 15:22:28 ionstorm login[3808]: FAILED LOGIN 2 FROM (null) FOR , 
Authentication failure
Jul 27 15:22:28 ionstorm login[3808]: FAILED LOGIN 3 FROM (null) FOR , 
Authentication failure

I am pretty sure that is not anyone from my lan because I was the only 
one around. Can anyone explain this?

Thanks.
