NFS - strange .nfsXXXX files

Hi Gurus,
I have users' home directories NFS auto-mounted from an E3000 server.
(Solaris 6)

I found many files in the users' home directories in the format
(.nfsXXXX =.nfs05E4 .nfs06A0........).

It looks like an nfs problem. It seems they are temporary files but they
are randomly created and never being deleted again.

- Did any Guru out there know what is the source of these files ?
- How can I stop these files from being created ? (sometimes they
populate the user directory and fill up his quota !)
- Any link/URL/document that describe the nature of this problem ?
- Any patch/kernel parameter/Environment variable/NFS setting/mount
option to set to get rid of these files ?

Will Summarize.

Thanks

Levi
