Thanks for all the replies, I understand that allowing access to other 
people's servers unsupervised could be a bad idea. Problem for my 
specific situation is that the 10 to 6 access is exactly the time I 
generally am NOT in town.

I guess knowing who entered the building by means of a keycard and 
having cameras isn't considered enough to deter potential "evil doers". 
I know it's not enough for places like equinix, but that's of a 
different caliber.

Thanks,
Jeroen
