You only need: samba_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file to make
samba start automatically upon reboot, or even if it is started
manually for that matter.

If you need 'windbindd, that is enabled separately.

If you need shares mounted automatically, you can put them in
the /etc/fstab file. See the Samba documentation or subscribe to the
Samba list.
