I can help on this part. To start the daemons, you have three choices:
1) Manually, at the beginning of each session (you said this is
unacceptable and I agree)
2) Start them dynamically. In Red Hat 7 and later, they switched from using
inetd.conf to xinetd.conf. Check the documentation on that file - things
changed a little bit.
3) Start them at boot time and keep them running. This is my preferred
option. In my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, I have the following code (toward
the end):

	if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd ]; then
		echo "Starting smbd..."
		smbd -D
		echo "Starting nmbd..."
		nmbd -D
	fi
On your next reboot, the daemons should be running and stay running.
