David, We are running AFS-3.5 client on Red Hat Linux here, at Brookhaven Lab. We have more than 200 Linux machines with AFS. AFS on Linux is stable and except few cases of cache corruption we are satisfied with it. I don't understand why you want to use Linux and a gateway to AFS for smb clients. There is an AFS Client for Windows NT. You can directly connect an NT machine with AFS server. The AFS directory will get a next drive letter. Of course, a user will have to obtain an AFS token. But he will do it from his/her NT machine. If you adopt this scheme you will not need Linux or any other special machine.
