Modern Linux uses System-V initialization. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb script
is run via symbolic links in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/  , where '?' is the
run-level. What is your level ?   ( "grep initdefault /etc/inittab" )
  Do you have e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S35smb -> ../init.d/smb

That will start SMB on bootup. "K35smb" means its off.
