+While i'm not from sysadmin team, and i'm not averse to such things, and 
+lessen the costs.
+
+Nevertheless, it is imho best that you would familiarize with the 
+system/network and also for sysadmin team to accept you and your skills (and 
+trustworthyness).
+
+I think if you are planning on helping this sort of thing in the future, or if 
+there is some kind of emergency problem; it would be interesting, maybe you 
+could join the other sysadmins maybe on-site to familiarize yourself with the 
+system/network.
+
+of course, this sounds like common sense to me, i am not part of sysadmin 
+team.
