[Spacewalk-list] Config file removal

[Mark Farmer]

Thanks both for the replies, much appreciated.
I can see now that this might be an unusual thing to do but I think it
could be useful to avoid an untidy filesystem in some situations. I for one
would like to see this as an option, would it be possible as a feature
request?

Thanks again
Mark.
