i havent' done any research on if SuSE changed anything about their boot
system from 6.4 to 7.0, but typically, if you install the samba package
via yast, then edit your samba.conf file to the values you need, you
should be able to restart samba, and from then on it should start on
boot...

i haven't had any problems since i got my samba.conf file set up how i
wanted it...initially i had a couple of things configured incorrectly
which led to the win machines not seeing the share...

-something i've discovered to be really handy with SuSE (i know other
distros have something comparable to it, but i like SuSE so i havent'
explored) is that yast will let you save your cpackage config to a
floppy....at this point if i ever need to reinstall 6.4, i won't have to
go through all the packages groups picking the ones i want installed...i'd
recommend when you re-install that you save the config to a floppy...

-that's my two cents worth,
