You don't say which OS you are using, which is allimportant. Heavy duty 
industrial OS like OS.390,Pick and VAX VMS do record an audit trail, if 
the admin has switched that on. But mid range OS like Windows and Unix 
do not, so far as I know, record who made a change, just when the change 
was made. But that also probably depends on the filesystem in Linux, 
some of the more exotic ones may support audit trails.

If you really need to know who made changes you need to use a version 
control system like RCS, CVS, SVN, etc. Thats what they are designed to 
do, amongst other things...
