If IBM would like to financially sponsor the development of a UNICODE aware version of the AFS Client SMB Server, it would be greatly appreciated.
There actually is a UNICODE version of an smb server that nowadays does quite a decent job (IMHO) as an AFS client: Samba 3. Currently the advanced features (fake-kaserver, vfs_afsacl) are only available on Linux, but it would probably be not too hard to port that to other Unixes. Windows is a different matter though...

The context of the conversation is Microsoft Windows. There is no need or desire to use Samba as a means of accessing AFS from Unix. Doing so can only cause you problems due to the differences in the file locking.
Samba code can also not be used in the Windows AFS Client due to its choice of licenses.
