For WinNT you should be using NT AFS for fileservice. Samba is still
very useful for print service which poses less of a problem since, for
printing, the Samba server doesn't need an AFS fileservice ticket.
You would, however, have to maintain a parallel password database for
Samba encrypted password support.
For Win95 you have only to wait until Transarc makes good on its
recently announced intention of offering AFS for Win95. Samba print
service is still a good thing.
Samba fileservice doesn't make a lot of sense in an AFS environment if
a real AFS client implementation is available, because unless you run
your Samba server on your AFS fileserver machine, everything will have
to cross the net twice, making Samba's usually good performance go
south.
