smbfs enabled but not working

All,

YaST > System Services (Runlevel) shows that nmb and smb are installed and
enabled, while smbfs is installed and enabled, but has the asterisk (*)
indicating that it is not working.

If I select it and click "Enable", an info/dialog pops up saying:

/etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured):
Mount SMB/ CIFS File System ..unused
[OK]

A populated smb.conf file exists, so I assume this must be looking
for some other file, in order to feel "configured". Anybody know
what needs configging, here? Is it accessible via a YaST dialog,
or do I create/edit a file directly?

Kevin
