If baffles me as to why it's so difficult to stop a service on boot in
ubuntu but read this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341947
I also don't see why it's been made hard to pull samba out, maybe
someone more ubuntu friendly can explain how to remove the program
it's self but for now if the service is off it shouldn't bother you.
You could also just try removing entries in /etc/samba/smb.conf if u
can't stop the service

I needed to do some file sharing recently and now that the task is
finished so I want to remove the Samba service. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
in Synaptic > search: samba
shows that the following items are installed;
samba
samba-common
samba-common-bin
smbclient
libpam-smbpass
libsmbclient
libwbclient0
nautilus-share
python-smbc
When I mark "samba" for removal no other files on this list are
marked. So is just marking "samba" for removal sufficient to stop this
service from starting at boot... and I don't want to keep files that
only rely on samba alone as they'll be superfluous.
But when I select "samba-common" to be removed, Synaptic notifies me
of a list of other files that it will also remove with "samba-common"
- one of them being "ubuntu-desktop".
I'm not so sure that I want ubuntu-desktop removed!
advice/suggestions/help are welcome :)
thanks...
