I suspect you have got it in the wrong part of the network startup
script. I have attached the standard startup script that comes with
several distributions. Put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then run (as root):
chkconfig smb on
(it lives in /sbin if your path is not finding it).
This should fix your problem.
