Comment Re:Problem with TrueCrypt 5.0 (Score 1) 330
this problem affects MS windows versions (xp, 2003)
if an user is logged in as an not admin user (power user, user) he is able to decrypt the encrypted drive/partition without entering the appropriate password, if some let his WS/Laptop unlocked every person which has access to the "box" is able to decrypt the system partition (with the currently logged on user, even an resticted account), reboot the machine and boot maybe knoppix and readout all data stored on the system drive
the problem does not affect Windows Vista with enabled UAC
i think the problem should be solved by requiring admin rights and asking for the volume password
