[Samba] Nmblookup

[Rick Glanvill]

Hello,

I am looking for some security advice regarding 'nmblookup'.

I am a Mac user (G4, not Intel) running OS 10.3.9, Firefox browser.

When I look up processor use, nmblookup is always running, using between
1.5% and 6% of the processing power.

My question is whether this indicates some sort of spyware is operating on
my system, or simply a normal background daemon working normal processes?

Thanks in advance.
