So, I'd have to boot out of OS X to run Linux, so I can run User-Mode Linux?
How will that help me run Windows VMs? After all, some of our clients do run
Windows.

The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit comes with a native tail utility. And,
I have Cygwin installed. However, there are plenty of alternatives out there
for Windows that aren't Cygwin-based. I'll bet there's a tail in MS's
Services for Unix package, which I think is free.

No problem, but are you sure you're qualified to admin Windows boxes if you
didn't know how to run something as a different user? That's a pretty basic
thing, you know!
