Dear Bjartur, I don't dissagree about your opinion that involves ssh utillity to do this job (it could possibly also keep a look of systems that you recently connect also) but together with ssh there also are rsh/rlogin, telnet, and other remote connection software that can be used from cli. I discuss the possibillity to integrate such a command that keeps tracks of recent systems, current system, system connection path (hostA->hostB->hostC) and distribute this information accordingly to each system you connect/disconnect. If anyone has furthermore ideas or is interested on a tool like this, hope will reply.
