Sharepoint Modified By Fields not updating

this has got me scratching my head...

there's nothing wrong with my MOSS 2007 installation from what i can tell, everyhting is working exactly as expected.

except: no list on any site in MOSS updates the Modfied By field. when a user creates a new list item in any list across the server it updates the Modified By field the first time with the user that created the item, however, anytime that item is subsequently edited or modified the Modified By field does not change from the user that originally created the item. the Modified date does update properly.

well, what occured to me over the weekend is i changed the ONET.XML file and removed the line that specified ReadOnly="TRUE" for tp_Author and tp_Editor, allowing us to updated the Created By field with workflows. (this gave us the ability to operate the list with "Only their own" permissions, as we dont want users to see anything but their own items, while Admin can make changes to any item on the entire list.

it's possible that that broke it, but if it did i might just have to deal with it...

Mine is already set to true and it still does not update the time, date, or user modified field.
