It doesn't return that OID in gss_indicate_mechs and it doesn't let applications use that OID. * Heimdal doesn't appear to have any support for the "old" krb5 mech OID. Adopting the above behavior would reduce the number of krb5 cred acquisition operations for a default gss_acquire_cred from 8 to 4, and the number of ssh userauth negotiation attempts from 4 to 2.
