FreeBSD Port: net/samba3 (rc.d weirdness)

The startup script for Samba states:

---
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable samba:
#
#samba_enable="YES"
#
# or, for fine grain control
#
#nmbd_enable="YES"
#smbd_enable="YES"
#
---

However when setting samba_enable="YES" in rc.conf, the restart option 
does not function correctly, as it only restarts smbd. If we instead set 
the alternative of nmbd_enable="YES" and smbd_enable="YES", we get the 
following warning during startup.

/etc/rc: WARNING: $samba_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
