How do I Sharing A NTFS Drive with everyone


I would like to know how to share a NTFS drive with everyone onmy thin client network, basicall it seems that onle the root can access the files, but when a regular user tries to access the drive. Iget a permissioned denied.I tried right clicking and going under properties and give group access to everyone , butthat does not seem to work. So how can I share a NTFS drive in which all users who log in can access that drive.

I am stuck?

O by the way i am using fedora 4

try putting something like this in your /etc/fstab.
Code:
/dev/hdb1        /home            vfat        auto,owner,users       1   0
Of course, your filesystem is ntfs and not vfat, and is read only (ro). Also, any thin client can be though of as equal to sitting in front of the server computer.

You need uid gid umask options in you fstab. type man mount for more info on those options. man pages can be hard to understand but there are plenty of examples on the net. Here one example

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,uid=1000,gid=100,umask 0227,users 0 0

just add umask=0000. That will take care of it.

Edit your /etc/fstab file and have it look like this. Change /dev/hda1 to match your drive and partition location.
Code:
/dev/hda1       	/winxp                  ntfs	umask=000,users,noauto,owner,ro 0 0

The line you have does not follow the fstab structure. Give this one a try.
Code:
/dev/sda1    /media/Entartainment     ntfs	umask=000,users,noauto,owner,ro 0 0
