Are you sure? Lots of networking/monitoring tools use promiscuous mode. In fact enabled/diabled like that is exactly what you will get if you run tcpdump without the -p option. > Could this have been a remote attacker? Not really. Promiscuous mode requires root to enable/disable. An attacker would need to be logged in and get root. Anyway try correlating the timestamps on /var/log/messages with /var/log/auth.log > How to disable xl0 from being able to enter promiscuous mode? Requires root to use already. Against a user with root resistance is futile.
