There is no ktutil equivalent for "k5srvutil change", which I believe is
the primary reason for k5srvutil to exist.
k5srvutil can't do anything that kadmin can't do, since it's just a
shell script wrapper around kadmin. But it's easier to run "k5srvutil
change" or "k5srvutil delold" than the equivalent kadmin commands.
