I unsnarled all this some time ago when I wrote a C based program to
do password changes via the administrative interface.  I can forward
you the source code which contains all the boilerplate.

The big problem as I'm sure you have already encountered is sorting
out all the include files and the like you need to access the kadm*
interfaces.  I did that as well and can forward you a tar file with
the whole setup, although the version of MIT Kerberos I was working
against is now quite dated.

If all the administrative interfaces are now exposed the problem may
be a bit simpler in which case the boilerplate could should be about
all you need.
