On a related note, does anyone know of a good Linux Live CD which
enables both network operations (especially telnetd and ftpd) along with
mdadm?  I have a couple of Live CDs on hand, but they don't support mdadm or
remote access.  This is a headless system, and I really can't effectively
work with a local console, plus I need to mount the /boot array in order to
properly edit the initrd.  I suppose I could mount the drive as a non-array
and then force a sync to the second drive, but I'd rather not.

http://www.sysresccd.org is nice, it has mdadm and ssh, no telnet and
ftp, but who needs those nowadays :P

What tool other than telnet do you use to open an interactive socket to 
an arbitrary port?

netcat or socat :)
but Leslie and me were talking about daemons in the specific environment
of a live cd, YMMV.
