Can I set ssh to change my konsole colours when I connect to a remote box?

I've usually got many sessions open at once - is there any way I can do this to remind myself I'm on a remote box?

Not that I'm aware of ... what I do is the following:
(doing all this in X that is)...

rxvt -cr green -title "MarvinSSH" -sl 6000 +ls -e ssh 192.168.1.25

The bold bit gives a green cursor .. :)

Cheers,
Tink

Usually this is done by altering your prompt.

You could change the machines profile to do a tput setaf 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4 etc) to change the foreground color, but it won't last across execution of certain commands (e.g. a color ls will probably reset things back to some default color).
