This files_unwanted_objects.cfg example specifies unwanted files--files whose existence might trigger a warning, or that PIKT might automatically delete or move aside.  This objects file might be referenced by a Pikt script such as SystemFileExist.

On the piktmaster system, we would install the FilesUnwanted.obj file to each PIKT slave system with, for example:

# piktc -iv +O FilesUnwanted +H all        [or: ... -H down]
