No they haven't.  When I sudo I can edit that file.  Maybe check out
"rkhunter"?  Is someone messing with you?  This isn't very clear.

How about...

System Menu --> Administration --> Network

Then add your info on the DNS tab.

?

Or is your problem that DHCP/NetworkManager settings are overwriting
your changes?  Then stop using NetworkManager - in the same place as
above on the "Connections" tab highlight your adapter, click the
properties button, turn off "Roaming" mode.  Make the same changes on
the DNS tab that you need and either assign yourself a Static IP or
choose DHCP - your changes on the DNS tab should now stick.

Yes that doesn't really turn off NetworkManager.  If you want to do that
it is a simple Google search away.
