Here are three ways:

1)  if using Gnome as your desktop, click on the 'foot' -> Programs ->
System -> Service Configuration.  You will be prompted for the root
password, if you are not already  root.  Go down through the list, put a
check next to 'smb'.  For me, nmbd starts automatically as a consquence
of smb starting.

2)  from a console, you can type 'serviceconf'.  This basically does
exactly the same as option 1).

3)  from a console (or, in case you have no GUI), you type 'ntsysv'. 
Again, this gives you a list of services and checkboxes; tick off 'smb'.
