This is not exactly hidden, but not put in plain writing either - right (but our man page is full of warnings that get all confusing due to the sheer mass of text...). There's ways to get asynchronicity here, but I admit I have lots track on which parts can be done today and which parts need additional patch sets that have not been merged yet - there's the "auth" interface, and the "client-connect" interface, and both come as plugin and script variants, and there are subtle differences in what can be done and what not. gert -- now what should I write here...
