You should be able to run "serviceconf" and put a tick next to the
service you want to run - but Samba SHOULD be running by default. Either
which, running "serviceconf" and then doing a "save" will ensure that
it's starting at bootup - if it isn't already.

Another thing to do is when it dies or if you want to restart it, is to
open a term and run:

service smb --full-restart
