find out who did this, pronto!
You might want to set up a cron job to run and collect user's history files and copy them to an inconspicuous directory.
Or go the $HOME directory and try to grep each user's history file for commands that you suspect were used.
This is part of being an admin. You need to find out who did this and report it if necessary. or at least document it for future ammunition.
Any user that would do this will soon try to breach root on your box. Count on it!

cron(1M) System Administration Commands cron(1M)
NAME
cron - clock daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/cron
DESCRIPTION
cron starts a process that executes commands at specified dates and times.
You can specify regularly scheduled commands to cron according to instructions found in crontab files in the directory
/var/spool/cron/crontabs. Users can submit their own crontab file using the crontab(1) command. Commands which are to be executed only once
can be submitted using the at(1) command.
cron only examines crontab or at command files during its own process initialization phase and when the crontab or at command is run. This
reduces the overhead of checking for new or changed files at regularly scheduled intervals.
As cron never exits, it should be executed only once. This is done routinely by way of the svc:/system/cron:default service. The file
/etc/cron.d/FIFO file is used as a lock file to prevent the execution of more than one instance of cron.
cron captures the output of the job's stdout and stderr streams, and, if it is not empty, mails the output to the user. If the job does not
produce output, no mail is sent to the user. An exception is if the job is an at(1) job and the -m option was specified when the job was
submitted.
cron and at jobs are not executed if your account is locked. Jobs and processses execute. The shadow(4) file defines which accounts are not
locked and will have their jobs and processes executed.
Setting cron Jobs Across Timezones
The timezone of the cron daemon sets the system-wide timezone for cron entries. This, in turn, is by set by default system-wide using
/etc/default/init.
If some form of daylight savings or summer/winter time is in effect, then jobs scheduled during the switchover period could be executed
once, twice, or not at all.
Setting cron Defaults
To keep a log of all actions taken by cron, you must specify CRONLOG=YES in the /etc/default/cron file. If you specify CRONLOG=NO, no log-
ging is done. Keeping the log is a user configurable option since cron usually creates huge log files.
You can specify the PATH for user cron jobs by using PATH= in /etc/default/cron. You can set the PATH for root cron jobs using SUPATH= in
/etc/default/cron. Carefully consider the security implications of setting PATH and SUPATH.
Example /etc/default/cron file:
CRONLOG=YES
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:
This example enables logging and sets the default PATH used by non-root jobs to /usr/bin:/usr/ucb:. Root jobs continue to use
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin.
The cron log file is periodically rotated by logadm(1M).
FILES
/etc/cron.d Main cron directory
/etc/cron.d/FIFO Lock file
/etc/default/cron cron default settings file
/var/cron/log cron history information
/var/spool/cron Spool area
/etc/cron.d/queuedefs Queue description file for at, batch, and cron
/etc/logadm.conf Configuration file for logadm
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

SEE ALSO
svcs(1), at(1), crontab(1), sh(1), logadm(1M), svcadm(1M), queuedefs(4), shadow(4), attributes(5), smf(5)
NOTES
The cron service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/cron:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
DIAGNOSTICS
A history of all actions taken by cron is stored in /var/cron/log and possibly in /var/cron/olog.
