On a FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE server that mounts an NFS filesystem from a
BSDI 2.1 machine, I'm seeing several .nsf* files showing up...

./king/mbpinc/.nfsA36bd4.4
./king/rollread/newsletter/.nfsA259a4.4
./king/newstone/.nfsA1bde4.4
./king/dsd/temp/.nfsA3ba44.4
./king/fetf/.nfsA60254.4
./king/phdtop/.nfsA482d4.4
./king/phdtop/.nfsB482d4.4
./crash/jeffmj/exchange/gh/.nfsA32164.4
./crash/jeffmj/cgi-bin/data/ChatRoomData/gh/.nfsA6d354.4
./crash/jeffmj/cgi-bin/data/ChatRoomData/gh/.nfsA2dbd4.4
./crash/jeffmj/cgi-bin/data/ChatRoomData/gh/.nfsA2f5a4.4
./crash/jeffmj/cgi-bin/data/.nfsA6ed04.4
./crash/jeffmj/cgi-bin/data/.nfsA31004.4
...etc.


The owner of the directory (and .nfs file) is NOT able to use "rm" to
remove it, but root can.  Is this indicative of an NFS client-side
problem (misconfig) or something awry with the NFS server?
