How do you feel about allowing non-DBA's on your database servers?

So, I've got a client that is being pressured by development and support types
to allow access to their database servers. They claim that it's so they can use
tools like ps, sar, topas, etc.... to monitor performance and deal with support
issues.
My position is that this is a huge risk and that I would want an very limited
population of users (read DBA's and SYSADMIN's only) to have access to these
servers.
Anyone have an opinion on this?

The LDS Church is looking for DBA's. You do have to be a Church member in
good standing. A lot of kind people write me, concerned I may be breaking
the law by saying you have to be a Church member. It's legal I promise! :-)
