I want to prevent certain roles from being able to edit the Authoring Information, either setting it to 'anonymous' or to another user. The Edit Authoring Information module probably enables this, but is currently not in v6. Are there any other options?

Thanks

I tried looking in the database for the user information stored with a node with Authoring Information set to 'anonymous', and found that uid is set to 0. Is there any other log of activity which might tell me which uid wrote the node? Thanks

For a role that does not have "administer nodes" permission, the fieldset containing the author name does not appear in node/edit. Note that "administer nodes" is not the same as edit permission.
