So, why do you need written rules?  Are these folks
not talking to each other?

I currently work in a highly proceduralized
environment.  Nothing routine gets done in less than
three weeks after being blessed by several layers of
management and a change review committee.  This is a
very inefficient way to do business.  Oddly enough, if
it really matters, the Unix group and the DBAs figure
it out together and just get the work done.

A good starting point for procedures can be found on
Microsoft's web site - the SQL Server operations
manual.  Sun's site also has some good documentation
guidelines but you will have to extrapolate for your
environment.  

Let common sense be your guide!
