OpenSSH itself can be built as a 64bit executable but the limitation
is usually the OS support (eg if system libraries are not available
as 64bit).

On some platforms, you can get speed improvements by tuning compiler
options (eg enabling sparcv9 support on those systems) without building
an entirely 64bit binary.  I'm not sure if this applies to your platform.

You need to make getpwnam and friends look in your sql database by
This is done via nsswitch.conf, assuming such support is available.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
