Yup, that's how the 2.2.5-1 RPM writes the init script:

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting SMB services: "
        daemon smbd -D
        daemon nmbd -D
        echo
        touch /var/lock/subsys/smb
        ;;


One "Starting SMB services" before starting both smbd and nmbd.
