Yep... 4.76-1 works well after using alien. Interesting that the repo
nstat version, when given the following command:

$ nmap -T Aggressive -A -v 192.168.2.*

shows (obfuscation apparent):

Host 192.168.2.XXX appears to be up ... good.
Interesting ports on 192.168.2.XXX:
Not shown: 1712 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE     VERSION
139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: MSHOME)
445/tcp  open  netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: MSHOME)
5900/tcp open  vnc         VNC (protocol 3.7)

The 4.76-1 version shows:

Host <hostname> (192.168.2.XXX) appears to be up ... good.
Interesting ports on <hostname> (192.168.2.XXX):
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT      STATE SERVICE     VERSION
139/tcp   open  netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: MSHOME)
445/tcp   open  netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: MSHOME)
5900/tcp  open  vnc         VNC (protocol 3.7)
16001/tcp open  tcpwrapped

Host script results:
|_ NBSTAT: NetBIOS name: <hostname>, NetBIOS MAC: X:X:X:X:X:X
|  Discover OS Version over NetBIOS and SMB: Unix
|_ Discover system time over SMB: 2009-01-16 17:02:58 UTC-8

So the newer version adds some nice details.
