I have this line in my daily script file:

# Clean out old .nfs files.
find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune

I know I didn't put it there, so I assume it came with the system.  This  
command will search the entire file system for any and all .nfs*** files  
which have been modified in the past week and remove them.
