I don't think that cfengine alone will be able to ferret all that information for you. If you can get all of the above information I am certain you can instruct cfengine to do so as well. If a file is edited outside of cfengine how would you normally know the username that changed the file and what specific lines were changed? If all changes made are kept in version control you could get the desired information from there. You might be able to write an agent that hooked into something like inotify (though I am not even sure you can ferret all the info you want from inotify either).
