>Description:

When kadmin is called the Enter Password prompt goes to standard out
instead of standard error. This is particularly a problem if stdout is
redirected.

For example, "kadmin -q listprincs * > principles" will put the "Enter
Password" prompt into principles. Furthermore, the user doesn't know
that they're being asked for their password.

>How-To-Repeat:
kadmin -q listprincs * > principles
will put the enter password prompt into princples instead of to the
user.
