edit /etc/init.d/smb
Look for the line:
# chkconfig: - x y
where x and y are 2 numbers
change the "-" to 345
ie
# chkconfig: 345 x y
save and exit

then from the command prompt run
chkconfig --del smb
chkconfig --add smb
chkconfig --list smb

You should see something like:
smb             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

then if smb isn't currenly running just do:
service smb start
