It's /usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/init.ps and if anything is starting up it hasn't
disappeared.

It's sounds to me like a problem with one of the network databases.  The clue
is that the console is working.  The console tries to connect to "localhost".
Everything else tries to connect to "foo" where foo is the hostname of the
machine. If you type commands in the console they too will connect to
"localhost" and will work.

I would guess that the machine's own name isn't in /etc/hosts or is not
on the 127.1 line and the machine isn't connected to a network.
