Maybe fix for samba

Alfons tested samba in latest EasyOS, 3.1.13, reported this:
# mkdir /root/share
# mount.cifs //localhost/puppyshare /root/share -o password=woofwoof
unable to apply new capability set
I did a quick search on that error message, this is one hit:
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/info-upgrade-libcap-ng-to-0-8-2-1-breaks-cifs-mounts/10350
Hmmm, I think that cifs-utils has 'libcap' dependency, not 'libcap-ng' (they are different).
Anyway, I have taken it onboard to update 'cifs-utils'. Easy currently has 6.10, I have bumped to 6.14, compiled in OE.
Haven't tried it yet. Will do a build of Easy this afternoon and test it.
