disk mounts chmod'd to 000?

All of a sudden, all of our "non-system" mounted disks on our server
changed from drwx r-x r-x to d--- --- --- ! (ex: /home1 top level, nothing
below it changed).

It included 5 partitions, (not including /, /var, /tmp, /usr, /usr/local)
The partitions remained mounted and in use.

Anyone know what may cause such a thing?

I'm the only one with root password, and I've checked for the basic signs
so far for hackers. Nothing obvious, and no tripwires setoff.

I just did a chmod 755 back and they seem ok for now. Nothing in the logs.

[On a different small note, I know the cautions of changing shell for root
(currently /bin/sh), is there something that I can log commands like bash
does in .bash_history?]
