Thanks, setsid works fine if I do not need to enter a password but 
unfortunately will not work if I am using ssh -f to get an interactive 
password before forking.

Looking in the openssh source, I can see that ssh -f calls daemon(), 
which should call setsid(). Is that correct? If so, why is it still 
hanging onto the terminal?
