$ cat /etc/hosts.deny

# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the
#                  system.
#                  See the manual pages hosts_access(5),               
#                  hosts_options(5)
#                  and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz

-> man 5 hosts_access 

IIRC hosts.allow/hosts.deny do only work for services started by inetd.
Since Samba is running as a deamon, those files are ignored.

Set up a packetfilter and / or check the Samba manual to see if you can
controll access using Samba options.
