[ale] weird problem with Suse 8.2 and Samba

[Dow Hurst]

I thought Yast2 had a Samba module included?  If so, then you can use it 
to configure Samba.  Afterwards, you can use the runlevel editor to pick 
which runlevels Samba should run in.  Geoffrey gave the right init 
scripts to manually start.  Just check in the /etc/init.d/rc3.d or 
/etc/init.d/rc5.d directories for the links to see if your going to be 
autostarting at boot for your default runlevel.  The order in which SuSE 
runs those scripts is important.  I noticed that the nmb must run before 
the smb for some reason I am not aware yet.
