There is...
First you should understand how Linux boots.
Read "man inittab". inittab is the config file for init. init is the
first process started after loading the kernel.
Inside the file /etc/inittab you will see lines containing rc0 to rc6.
These tell init which scrips to start when entering a runlevel.
In /etc/init.d/ you will most likely find a script called smb. What you
have to do to make it start is to change into /etc/init.d/rc3.d and type
"ln -s ../smb S11smb" and "ln -s ..smb K13smb" then do this
again in the
rc5.d directory.
If you are using SuSE you can use the runleveleditor that comes with yast.
Good luck,
Andr?.
