        Hm, perhaps that's not the *exact* command he uses.  ;)

        I know there is a way you can set up a password-less key, which 
basically 
means if the local key matches the one you've stored on the remote 
machine, you don't get prompted at all when logging in.  (It also means 
that anyone with physical access to the local machine could log in as 
you, since they don't even have a passphrase standing in their way.)  
However, the man page for ssh says "ssh -f" will go into the background 
just before command execution, so you'd get the password prompt and then 
it would get out of the way.
