You almost certainly don't have to care.  kadmind4 and v5passwdd were
removed in the 1.4 release and this is probably just a missing
documentation update from that removal.  They're only interesting if you
have legacy K4 kadmin clients or need to support a different password
changing interface than the one implemented by kpasswd.
