Actualy its just a question of how deep you are 'sub-shell'ed/chroot'ed/ssh'd/[sl]ftp'd/... : Smilie

Example: (the bold exit's are the one's typed)
Code:
:) ~ $ csh
[simon@localhost ~]$ bash
:) ~ $ zsh
[simon@localhost]~% su
Passwort: 
+ /home/simon # csh
[simon@localhost simon]# zsh
[root@localhost]/home/simon# exit
[simon@localhost simon]# exit
exit
:) /home/simon # exit
exit
[simon@localhost]~% exit
✔ ~ $ exit
exit
[simon@localhost ~]$ exit
exit
✔ ~ $

hth

EDIT:
If you're often are ssh'ing to other systems, i'd change the PS1 to something that indicates me where i am.
Eg:
Code:
PS1="\h \\$ "

NAME
dhcp_release - Release a DHCP lease on a the local dnsmasq DHCP server. SYNOPSIS
dhcp_release <interface> <address> <MAC address> <client_id> DESCRIPTION
A utility which forces the DHCP server running on this machine to release a DHCP lease. Send a DHCPRELEASE message via the specified interface to tell the local DHCP server to delete a particular lease. The interface argument is the interface in which a DHCP request _would_ be received if it was coming from the client, rather than being faked up here. The address argument is a dotted-quad IP addresses and mandatory. The MAC address is colon separated hex, and is mandatory. It may be prefixed by an address-type byte followed by -, eg 10-11:22:33:44:55:66 but if the address-type byte is missing it is assumed to be 1, the type for ethernet. This encoding is the one used in dnsmasq lease files. The client-id is optional. If it is "*" then it treated as being missing. NOTES
MUST be run as root - will fail otherwise. LIMITATIONS
Only usable on IPv4 DHCP leases. SEE ALSO
dnsmasq(8) AUTHOR
