Yes you need to make sure you have all the dependencies required to
build cifs.upcall (your package manager of your distro might provide a
way to get 'build dependencies' of a package). If it's missing some the
configure script might disable the build of cifs.upcall so make sure it
is built. You can run

as regular user:

   autoreconf -i
   ./configure
   make

Check where is installed your current cifs.upcall ($ whereis
cifs.upcall) usually it's in /usr/sbin/. I would recommend keeping a
copy of the old one.

as root (or sudo):

make backup once:

    cp /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall{,.backup}

then to build and use new one (rm is to make sure it is rebuilt):

     rm -f cifs.upcall && make && sudo cp cifs.upcall /usr/sbin/

Good luck

Cheers,
