    Installing a properly modified ftpd is another good choice.

Agreed. I'd like to understand: is there something wrong with the
AFS aware ftpd that comes with AFS?
    
    BTW, regarding the use of AFS login, it doesn't appear to me that a PAG
    is created if you login as root, which in many cells doesn't have an
    associated AFS ID.  Using su from your regular account that already has
    a PAG creates the root shell as a member of the PAG.

You are right! Seems like a bug or bad feature to me. I naively thought
because I was using AFS aware login (aix325+afs33) that every user would
automatically get a PAG. Seems that only accounts that have no matching
AFS principal fail to get a PAG (eg root, guest).

I wonder why that is so?
