AIX password authentication very slow

I installed and already removed openssh and our login on the aix box very slow.

It takes 30 seconds to get the password authenticated.

How can i debug this problem? and what might be the reason. It was working
fine until i tried to get openssh installed. This worked fine but i removed
it again because it thought this was the reason for slow logins but it is not

NAME
ncsa_auth - NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for Squid SYNOPSIS
ncsa_auth passwdfile DESCRIPTION
ncsa_auth allows Squid to read and authenticate user and password information from an NCSA/Apache httpd-style password file when using basic HTTP authentication. The only parameter is the password file. It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as (cache_effective_user in squid.conf). This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd. * MD5 - with optional salt and magic strings * DES - for passwords 8 characters or less in length OPTIONS
Only specify the password file name. EXAMPLE
ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass SECURITY
ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed. KNOWN ISSUES
DES functionality (used by htpasswd by default) silently truncates passwords to 8 characters. Allowing login with password values shorter than the one desired. This authenticator will reject login with long passwords when using DES. SEE ALSO
