[Diembo]

I have written myself a little shell-script for doing this and placed the 
line:
smb start
at the end of the file /etc/profile to start the deamon automatically. The 
script is attached. I recommend buying the book "mastering unix" as I said 
before. You can learn to program the shell easily. No worries, it will not be 
hard. Learning goes much faster when you have a book with a straight line 
such as this one. Look at the source to get an idea ;-).
The script should exist somewhere else but I was too lazy to search it on the 
web, so I remaid it for practicing my skills. I know this is probably not the 
best thing to do, because the scripts on the web are mostly already debugged 
and mine is not. But I think it should work fine and it's rather short, so 
not many error-sources (I hope).

PS: Have a look at every script someone sends you. Be aware that there are 
not only friendly people out there ;-).
