The SMB server is required for a client. The current OpenAFS  
implementation for Windows is, in effect, a bridge between AFS and  
SMB. Your machine thinks it is accessing a SMB filesystem located at \ 
\AFS\, and the OpenAFS SMB server on your client takes those SMB  
requests, and translates them into AFS operations which it sends out  
to the network.

Work is in progress on a native AFS for Windows, which will remove  
many of the pitfalls of this approach.
