I'm running a number of scripts, either by ftp location or source.


- postpartitioning: <location>, to create a fixed group id
- chroot: <source> insert autoyast and sshd; not sure this is necessary 
or even works atm;
   doesn't hurt, however
- post: 1x source, 4x script (mail, backup etc. settings)
- init: 1x source (zypper usage), 1 x script sshfs setup

for location I only give location and filename tags, e.g.

<script>
<location>ftp://192.168.27.34/my-mail-settings.sh</location>
   <filename>my-mail-settings.sh</filename>
</script>


logfiles for everything except the postpartitioning script are in
/var/adm/autoinstall/logs -- i verified the postpartitioning script works.

Two things I'd check first is, does ftp instead of nfs work for you?  
Does the <filename> have to begin with an underscore?

Best regards
Robert
