Finder doesn't start after admin login

Hello together,

I have a Lion Server which is manage mainly via ssh on console.

At the moment I have some Kerberos / OpenDirectory issuses und I wanted to login at the Server directly with the local admin account.

When I try to do so, I geht a grey screen and the Finder does not start.

When I then connect via ssh and open the Finder and the Dock with

open -a Finder

open -a Dock

I get a GUI but there are still some issues (System Preferences does not work properly and so on).

Can this be due to Kerbereos misconfiguration?

What else could be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance

Regards macmartin
