This is the sort of thing I would post to usenet. I like comp.lang.java or comp.lang.java.help
or comp.lang.java.programmer . Mostly the same people in all three and some real bright minds too.
That said, I have seen something similar in my expereince. Not sure if this will help but
when trying to wrap the manual password input of commandline ssh I just couldn't get it to work.
Apparently the difference is that some programs like ssh(maybe yours too?) do not read from stdin but, rather, "the terminal". Now, my system programming experience is limited so I am not quite sure what "reading from the terminal means". Does that mean that it uses something like ncurses to read input? If so, how is that different than just reading stdin besides just wrapping it in someway? If soneoen could care to explain it to me that would be cool. Always sort of wondered.......
