[fu-t set -- ugh, could you think of more groups]

in comp.unix.admin i read:

the i-node change time isn't displayed by ls -l, use ls -lc.  the owner
won't change at all, all you did was move the file, if you want to change
the ownership you have to do that as a separate step, which may require
extended permissions.

>In this case how will anybody know the person who moved the directory to
>another name & when?

enable auditing.  though `anyone' cannot obtain reports, at least someone
can and you can pose that sort of question to that person.
