Help will not authenticate

hey everyone. I have a very bizzare error on my fresh 32 bit install on my laptop that is a 1.8 celeron M 512 MB memory. ok anytime I click on an "administration" panel in Desktop in the menu I am getting a "You are not allowed to acess the system configuration" instead of a root password prompt. I tried as a regular user in terminal and got the same thing no messages. I tried to sudo as root and got the some thing again but got this message twice in a row then same error:

nate@64studio:~$ sudo network-admin

(network-admin:6941): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Process /usr/share//system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl exited with status 2

nate@64studio:~$

any ideas?
I should also mention I have updated to the latest test release (I believe it's 2.0 rc4). I really like alot of the new apps.

Try this

Hello Nate,

This sounds like package libnet-dbus-perl is missing.

Please check and add from the repository if needed.

Yep Steve that seemed to be the problem. all is well now except for the scribus issue. I did get the pdf created I needed on abiword alright but would much rather use scribus in the future if you can help me get it fixed.

Thanks
