Guy Harris was referring to a client bug in Soalris 2 where the files are deleted on the last close of the client.
All correct clients delete the .nfsXXXX turds on last close.
The cron job cleans up .nfsXXXX turds left over from clients that may have *crashed* while holding "open-but-deleted" files. The clients keep no state over reboot to clean these things out (they could, but why bother...) Most servers clean out old files.
For our box, a cron job run on the admin client would be appropriate to clean out old .nfsXXXX's left from crashing clients...
The original thing I referred to is alledgedly solved by patch 103600-14. The circumstances involve multiply hard linked files, and high load.
