If your data center agrees to manage the OS for you then they
definitely have the root password to all your servers - rather you are
a simple user and they give you permission to do installations on the
server at agreed upon schedule.
When you have a setup with everything from Linux, Windows and Solaris
with multiple OS versions roaming around it does become a pain trying
to keep all the OS's updated and patched to the latest release :).
