>Description:
The kadm5 header are not C++ safe.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ cat test.c
#include <kadm5/admin.h>
int main()
{
kadm5_init(0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
}
$ gcc -I/usr/kerberos/include -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkadm5srv test.c
$ g++ -I/usr/kerberos/include -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lkadm5srv test.c
/tmp/ccoJWP5E.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccoJWP5E.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `kadm5_init(char *, char *, char *, _kadm5_config_params *, unsigned int, unsigned int, void **)'
