Symbols in kadm5.lib

[Nicolas.Williams@ubsw.com]

OV -> OpenVision, the company that donated the source base
of the current MIT krb5 libkadm5*/kadmin/kadmind.

The /tmp/ovsec_adm.XXXXXX files are the ccache names used by
kadmin when called without -k or -c options. The file naming
is really historical - besides, for those cases kadmin should
just use MEMORY type ccaches. In any case, when kadmin exits
it should destroy those FILE ccaches.

Cheers,

Nico
