No, this is not correct.  You still need the server side software (Jet or 
whatever it's called now) running on the server in order for it to respond to 
client requests.  Samba is just a file server.  It will support Windows file 
access (create, open, read, write, close, list and delete) but not direct 
file access of the Access FE type.
