Interesting.  This is what it's supposed to look like:

potpal:[/tmp] ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc0.d/K19samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc1.d/K19samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc2.d/S20samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc3.d/S20samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc4.d/S20samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc5.d/S20samba -> ../init.d/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2004-10-06 15:10 /etc/rc6.d/K19samba -> ../init.d/samba

Something modified those symlinks, and it most likely happened on 2004-09-23.
What might you have done on that day?  The only thing I can think of which
mangles things like this is:
