On running "findsmb" i get these error messages, independent from runlevel, privileges or options: ##### Scalar value @t1[3] better written as $t1[3] at /usr/bin/findsmb line 45.

IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- ##### Nothing is listed, however i know that several hundred computers are in this part of the network. Since "findsmb" hasnt been changed since 2004, according to kukks in #samba, the bug must somehow be related to newer perl versions. Samba: 3.6.3-34.12.1 Perl: 5.14.2-3.1 Both are the newest version offered by my distro.
