Well, if it's just for FTP, there's no reason to have the ADMIN flag set.
That's just for kas interaction.

What FTP server are you using?  I've found that for things running out of
inetd, something like

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/afsws/bin/pagsh pagsh -c /usr/sbin/wu.ftpd

helps make sure a PAG is set (requires modification for RH's xinetd).  I
assume you're using AFS PAM for ftp authentication?
