who did the edit?

We had an editing problem last night. It looks like someone went back 
and inserted a "non-professional word" into a headline. I'm wondering 
if there is a log somewhere buried in frontier that I can look at what 
would show me the IP address of who make the edit. I know  the newsItem 
number ($1841) and the time of the original post. (2:07:59 AM.)

I fixed the nasty headline before I thought about adding the macro to 
find the time of last update. Doh!  I did check the history of the "web 
editors" computer and it does not show a later visit to the NewsItem 
$1841, just one visit.

fyi thinking out loud- A really curious pattern of events...
The headline must have been entered correctly at the newshound server 
and rendered (Render This Page) to dailyegyptian.com
This morning, the headline on newshound was different.
What's weird is that due to a bug, only managing editors can edit news 
items and I'm the only one.
All other editors are content editors.
I work on a TiBook which went home, nobody used it to edit the headline 
on newshound.
I didn't use another computer to edit earlier in the day or week and 
leave it logged in.
If someone has managed to guess my ME login & password, they only 
messed with a headline nearly below the scroll. Not very hacker like 
when they had full access to templates.

so who made the last change? (wasn't me)

If you have info, please copy me directly kthomas at siu.edu  I'm a digest 
reader and we kind of want to find out who is defacing our web site if 
it was done on purpose.
