OV -> OpenVision, the company that donated the source base of the current MIT krb5 libkadm5*/kadmin/kadmind.
The /tmp/ovsec_adm.XXXXXX files are the ccache names used by kadmin when called without -k or -c options. The file naming is really historical - besides, for those cases kadmin should just use MEMORY type ccaches. In any case, when kadmin exits it should destroy those FILE ccaches.
