samba - Jan 2016 - cifs-utils with Samba 4.1.7 on Centos 6.5

I have built Samba 4.1.7 from source on a CentOS 6.5 machine. The 
install is a functional domain controller and file server, no issues

I now need to mount a samba share from another machine, but cifs does 
not seem to be available. The cifs kernel module is available, but the 
helper mount.cifs is not.

Normally I would just install cifs-utils, but the dependencies are:

I configured with prefix=/usr, so I am worried that the 3.x packages 
will cause issues. The machine is in production, I am adding a new 
backup system.


Could someone advise me on how to get cifs mounts working?

I know this from work RHEL6/7.


- Download cifs-utils
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils#Download)

- unpack

- ./configure ; make ; make install


That's it. :-)
