I see them in my log file. My guess, at least in my case: Someone on the 
open internet (judging by the IP) was trying to break in but quit 
talking when authentication was expected.

P.S. I get *lots* of break in attempts (that's how I know my connection 
is live), but my system has very few users, all with good passwords, so 
I don't worry.
