Yes NT does audit who changes the file - irritating as it is to admit it, in this case it has functionality that *nix doesn't readily provide. Regarding the security auditors with root access - wouldn't implementation of SUDO provide the auditors with the necessary access without giving them root privileges whilst at the same time providing the ability to audit their actions? But don't forget the security implications of SUDO, e.g. SUDO rights to run vi or emacs allows the user to break to the command line with root privileges - I think. Please check what I've said carefully before implementation, as I've said I consider myself a newbie and am only repeating what I've read and briefly implemented.
