[solved] Suddenly can't truecrypt -ui

After upgrade to truecrypt 4.2a-6 I can no longer do truecrypt -ui as a normal user.

[rulatir@berbelek kf]$ truecrypt -ui
truecrypt: Administrator (root) privileges required

Verbose mode doesn't display any more info.

How can I fix this? Thanks.

Update: solved!

$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/truecrypt

This should perhaps be moved to the newbie corner

Re: [solved] Suddenly can't truecrypt -ui

To use truecrypt as user, you need to set SUID on the executable by doing the following as root:

chmod u+s /usr/bin/truecrypt

I'm assuming you had done that previously, and I'm wondering did you reinstall truecrypt-utils, which would have reset it.
