Should SMB service be running at startup?

I recently reinstalled Solaris+nappit on my machine, and found that I have to log into the web interface and manually start the SMB server service after every boot - is this normal? Because I'm sure that with the previous installation (before I reinstalled everything), the SMB server was already running at startup, so I could access the SMB shares straight away without having to log into napp-it to start the SMB server service.

SMB should start automatically.
Only on encrypted shares, you need to unlock them first.
