We are using NFS mounts for /home, and I have created a little init script which will run on shutdown (Runlevel 0) and check if /home/fai-update-timestamp is newer than the folder which /var/log/fai/localhost/last-softupdate points to, and run a softupdate only if it is. This way, I can test updates and "release" them to the clients by "touch /home/fai-update-timestamp" on the server.
I can post the init script if you like. Bye, Andreas
