ftp and friends from NT use direct console I/O functions to manipulate the
screen buffer under NT.  Cygwin has no way to intercept another process's
direct console I/O win32 calls, unless the other process is also a Cygwin
process.

I don't think this'll change anytime soon, because to fix it would require a
lovely RPC filter monitoring csrss.exe activity...

Subject: rxvt and text output problems


> Hello everybody,

> I recently installed cygwin 1.3.6 (including rxvt 2.7.2) on my w2k

> Examples are ftp and telnet. If I use winnt/system32/ftp it doesn't
> display "username" and "password" and also the welcome text doesn't
> appear. If I use tcsh (or bash) in a normal dos command window ftp and
> telnet work fine.
