How to find out who did the modification

Hi guys,

In the UNIX work environment we have access other peoples directory and sometimes we have full
access to other people's files.

How can we find out , other than modification time that WHO did modification on any file ?

I know we can change the access of any file by chmod but sometimes we have to grant access to
others i mean group and others in unix terminology

thanks,
Nick

NAME
File::Touch - update access and modification timestamps, creating nonexistent files where necessary. SYNOPSIS
use File::Touch; @file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc'); $count = touch(@file_list); use File::Touch; $reference_file = '/etc/passwd'; $touch_obj = File::Touch->new( reference => $reference_file, no_create => 1 ); @file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc'); $count = $touch_obj->touch(@file_list); DESCRIPTION
Here's a list of arguments that can be used with the object-oriented contruction: atime_only => [0|1] If nonzero, change only the access time of files. Default is zero. mtime_only => [0|1] If nonzero, change only the modification time of files. Default is zero. no_create => [0|1] If nonzero, do not create new files. Default is zero. reference => $reference_file If defined, use timestamps from this file instead of current time. Default is undefined. atime => $time If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for access time. mtime => $time If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for modification time. Examples Update access and modification times, creating nonexistent files use File::Touch; my @files = ('one','two','three'); my $count = touch(@files); print "$count files updated "; Set access time forward, leave modification time unchanged use File::Touch; my @files = ('one','two','three'); my $day = 24*60*60; my $time = time() + 30 * $day; my $ref = File::Touch->new( atime_only => 1, time => $time ); my $count = $ref->touch(@files); print "$count files updated "; Set modification time back, update access time, do not create nonexistent files use File::Touch; my @files = ('one','two','three'); my $day = 24*60*60; my $time = time() - 30 * $day; my $ref = File::Touch->new( mtime => $time, no_create => 1 ); my $count = $ref->touch(@files); print "$count files updated "; AUTHOR
