Can you ssh in from somewhere else?  If not, then your local NetInfo
hive is probably corrupt.  If you can, then it's probably the
DisplayServer or something.

Boot from the installation CD and try to repair the startup disk, then
repair permissions.  Bill swears by going into OpenFirmware (Apple +
Option + O + F before the boot chime) and zapping the PRAM like this:

  reset-NVRAM
  set-defaults
  reset-all
