Who modified my cupsd.conf???

CUPS was working flawlessly for almost a year on my Fedora Core 4
server, serving a mix of Linux and Windows clients.

Then, this afternoon, I tried to print as usual through that server,
but I couldn't.

I quickly examined the system and discovered that:

(1) I could access the cups config daemon via http port 631 locally
(i.e. from 127.0.0.1) but not from client machines on the LAN.

(2) /etc/cups/cupsd.conf was somehow modified at 9:09 AM. This is
weird, since I swear that there is no one in the area that could have
modified it, except me (it's not connected to the Internet) - and I
swear that I wasn't even close to a computer at that time.

So, my question is: what could have possibly modified it? (and in such
a way that limits cups access to the local host (127.0.0.1) only)

BTW, I quickly fixed the problem by modifying the last line (in a
section labeled by "Lines below are automatically generated - DO NOT
EDIT") from:
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
to
Listen *:631

Thanks!
