[Samba] How to restart samba with reboot

[E]

You also can use chkconfig  <man chkconfig> to make the starts/stops 
happen automatically on bootup /shutdown.

At least with SuSE and FC (I don't know about FreeBSD, but I suspect 
it's not too different), you would be wanting to start/stop smb (and 
later, as your setup gets more complex, winbindd, dhcpd, and whatever 
your system is calling your DNS server--named, I think).  <chkconfig 
--list> will give you a list of services and their current status.
