I have the same problem:
I have a problem with the configuration commands:
when I enter an ssh command in the command 1 box such as “ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com”
then when I run it the ssh command is simply ignored. We then tried tricking it by placing an echo at the front (echo 'ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com';) but it is still ignored. We also tried (sudo sh -c ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com). The only way to do it is by putting identical ssh commands in two consequtive boxes like this:
command box 1:ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com
command box 2:ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com
This solves the first problem but my problem is that you only have 5 command boxes and the fifth one is neccessary! But it is being taken up by the second box being in use. How can I only have a single command line for ssh server1.step3.b1q.example.com. in other words is there another way to trick putty CM into NOT ignoring the first SSH? which brings us back to the first problem.
