RHEL/CentOS are geared towards free/open software, and NTFS doesn't fall into this category.

However, rpmforge has a NTFS module, which the description reads " Driver (Linux kernel module) for reading and writing on NTFS formatted volumes.".

Now I use rpmforge, and have good experience with them + CentOS, but I don't use NTFS at all so your mileage may vary.

You can read up more on DAG.wieers/RPMForge on your own if you like. You can enable the repo by running (for CentOS5):

Code:
rpm -ivh http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
It should then work via YUM. However I do highly recommend sticking to the official CentOS repositories whenever possible.

If you install the RPMForge repos you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo and set "enabled=0". Then whenever you actually want to use the RPMForge repo you can run yum with "yum --enablerepo=rpmforge ..."
