but the original IP address is definitely not mine!

Well why hide it then? Knowing that IP address might provide a useful clue.

just can't figure out why would one do something like that??? ok, mp3, avi, divx... but system files???
now i have created password and turned off all of file sharing options and lat's see what happens next...
thank you guys for helping me solve this and have a nice weekend!

I don't see anything truly malicious there. "System" prefs get deleted all the time... that's how OSX does it (instead of writing over a file, it makes a new copy and swaps out the old one). And stuff like this:

"Delete widget-com.apple.widget.weather.plist.ajvHf57" 0 0 0

That junk at the end shows it was only a temp pref anyway.

So then, you're running Mac OS X *Server* are you? Which version?
[else tell us exactly how/where you're reading/finding that log file]
