Delayed SSH login on HPUX machine

[NaeemKhan]

I am having problem with ssh login to a HPUX host, there is delayed login and it hangs on a message for about 3 minutes " Sending env LANG= en US.UTF -8" when ssh is used with -v switch, during this delay some monitoring application fails to monitor caused by time out.
I need help how to get this issue resolved and i can not see any entry for sending environment parameter in the file sshd_config under folder /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

   A particular DNS problem is the usual reason for a delay in an SSH
(or Telnet, or ...) connection.

   Do you know that that's related to the problem, or is that only the
last message before something else hangs?

   I know nothing, but I'd guess that that will happen if LANG is set on
the client system.  But it may not be related to the delay.
