serverauth files - Never before seen..

[M-L <rose_snug@bigpond.com>]

Using Debian Etch on an Acer 3614 WLCI lappy

In my /home directory these files are created:-

.serverauth.3861
.serverauth.3862
.serverauth.3863

etc., etc.,

What process creates them, and why? Though the answer might be the one, and 
why do they keep building up in number and never being deleted? That might 
also be answered by knowing what process creates them?

Thanks in advance.
Charlie
