how do I make a process release its terminal?

I have a program that forks itself and exits upon running -- its child
process runs as a daemon forever after. In 'ps aux', I notice that it
still shows my tty as its control terminal -- even if I log out and
back in.
I see that syslogd, inetd, cron, and the rest do NOT show 'co' as their
control terminal; how do I make this happen for me?
This is (more or less) BSD 4.2, and the program is setuid root. Thanks...
