Something is logging in a lot of times unsuccessful from localhost/127.0.0.1?

Hundreds of times!

When I try to login with a fake password it says:
2006:09:21-01:21:46: *** (MY OWN IP) has tried to login with an invalid username: '(null)' ***

So why is this different, and how can somebody login using the ip localhost/127.0.0.1?


What is going on?
