Sorry, it was my wrapper script around kprop that created the file(s):

----- s n i p -----
#!/bin/sh

kdclist="slave_kdc"

# Dump the database
kdb5_util dump /var/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans

TMPFILE=`tempfile -p kprp.`

# Progagate the database to the slave KDC's
for kdc in $kdclist; do
    /usr/sbin/kprop -f /var/lib/krb5kdc/slave_datatrans $kdc > /dev/null 2> $TMPFILE
    RES="$?"
    if [ "$RES" -gt 0 ]; then
        echo "Result from kprop: '$RES'"
        cat $TMPFILE
    fi
done
rm -f $TMPFILE
----- s n i p -----
