Okay... I've got my NTFS modules and such loaded and when I type mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs
(or even lets say mount /dev/hda1 /home/jon/mnt/ntfs)

When I go on over to view the files in KDE -- the icon has a lock over a folder ... obviously I have to be root to get in... cause I can get in fine if i'm root

Is there a way I can mount it read-only (well.. ntfs is readonly anyway) and safely allow anyone be able to access it?

-

Another good tip I could use would be how to get it to automount on bootup (with everyone having RO access too)


Thanks !

try to use following link

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#4.9

thanks and regards

use the user option

e.g.

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs -o user,ro

better still,

edit /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs user,ro,noauto 0 0
