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.
