Ideally, only root should have access to that file. So take a look at
/var/log/secure (on redhat systems at least) to see the root logins. Then
take a look at the .bash_history file in your root directory.
Finally, I do hope you are the only one with the root password on that box -
if every tom, dick and harry in the org has the root password, change it
immediately.
