samba path question

[Sam !]

HI,
I installed samba (latest binary) on my ultra10/sol2.8 box.
It runs good. The samba path was the user "data" home direcotry path that i 
created for user "data":

[data]
  comment = data area
  path=/home/data
  valid user = data
  public=no
  writable = yes
  printable=no
  create mask=0777

I had to change the path=/home/data to path=/opt/otherdata due to
different reasons. I still can map it on my pc but i see
each new map creates each new smbd (ps -ef|grep smbd).
is this natural?. can i do this?.
Sam
