I'll take this as far as I can and hopefully get enough info to point to the right place to solve this.
We have a setup whereby we cannot login to ServerB directly by using putty.
We have to first login to ServerA by providing username and password and it somehow takes us to serverB and prompts for the password for my login id for ServerB. Providing the password again logs me onto ServerB where I have a script test.sh which I need to execute.
I wanted to automate the execution of script test.sh on ServerB from my local windows machine hence I wrote the below command.
Code:
C:\Program Files\PuTTY>plink -agent user1@ServerA "chmod +x /export/home/user1/test.sh; sh /export/home/user1/test.sh" -v

This command logs me onto ServerA but does not take me to ServerB hence test.sh script is not found.
I cannot logon to serverB due to this hopping concept in place.
Kindly help me with some work around.
Note: ServerA and ServerB both are unix servers

This was basically done inorder to disable VPN connectivity from remote locations.

and

SunOS ServerB 5.10 Generic_147440-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

These are basically output of uname -a

check-permissions(1M)					  System Administration Commands				     check-permissions(1M)

NAME
check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-permissions [login] DESCRIPTION
The check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for sendmail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for all configured alias files, and checks the alias files for :include: files. It also checks for certain .forward files. For each file that check-permis- sions checks, it verifies that none of the parent directories are group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive, it is reported. Otherwise it reports that no unsafe directories were found. As to which .forward files are checked, it depends on the arguments included on the command line. If no argument is given, the current user's home directory is checked for the presence of a .forward file. If any arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and the home directory of each one is checked. If the special argument ALL is given, the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is checked, and all password entries that can be obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this can be time-consuming. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: login Where login is a valid user name, checks the home directory for login. ALL Checks the home directory of all users. FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf Defines enviornment for sendmail /etc/mail/aliases Ascii mail aliases file ATTRIBUTES
