YOu can set Samba (or any network server) up to run 2 ways:
1. Always running
2. Starts up when needed.

Method 1 is what you're doing now.
Method 2 is what inetd is for.

If you use the Samba a lot, you might as well set it up to run as #1,
it'll be a little faster (although probably not noticable)

If it is seldom used, Method 2 will save system resources while it's not
in use.

You use one or the other, but not both.

If you want to use method #2, make sure inetd is configured and starting
on boot.
