[Macpartners] Certificates for Random People Appearing in Keychain Access

Here's a weird one I've haven't seen before:

On both an iMac and a MacBook Pro, Keychain Access is showing several certificates for other people who have never and would never access these computers. They are names that I recognize, but know for certain these people have never had anything to do with the machines. Most, I've never had any contact with whatsoever.

In addition, one machine has a keychain with the unsettling name "Microsoft_Intermediate_Access". It unlocks with a blank password, but shows no entries.

Both machines are running 10.6.2.

Is anyone else seeing this or know how it could possibly happen?
