Don't we want kf/kfd?

I think we should also remove:
- pfrom ("fetch a list of the current mail via POP")
- push ("fetch mail via POP").
I'm somewhat surprised the name "push" never clashed with anything
else. Further, I have no idea why it would be living in /usr/sbin.
The following three are generic utilities, not particularly specific
to Kerberos:
/usr/bin/otp
/usr/bin/otpprint
/usr/bin/string2key
