I can't help with the password prompt question, but you can put an
ssh session into the background by typing "~&" to it. By default
ssh uses ~ (tilde) at the beginning of the line as an escape
character and accepts several directives following that. Ampersand
puts it into the background.
Alas, none of the "~" escape commands seem to be effective, i.e., it
is as though they are being ignored. I can and have used them on
regular ssh sessions. I don't know if they are disabled due to
X11forwarding or for some other reason, but they are not working for
this session.
Thanks,
Michael
