netbiosd

I manage a school of 50+ iMacs. All of them have Lion installed. I noticed the other day that a process named netbiosd was using 99% of the CPU and 99% of RAM. After restarting, it appeared that the process ran normally. Can anybody give me any insight on this?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 4GB RAM, Core i5
