NFTS FC3 users and root
 

I have a problem thats about user rights to the NTFS filesystem. I want no acces the NTFS system as $user and not as #root but when i try to change the user right and ownership (chmod and chown) of the folder (eks. /mnt/c/(NTFS-filsystem) i get the message that the filesystem is Writeprotected.. I know that it`s bad to write to a ntfs system but i onely want to read from the filesystem as $user so i eks. dont have to start the consol and swich user and then start xmms from the consol as #root to listen to my mp3`s from the NTFS system.. *puh*

Add this to your /etc/fstab where your ntfs is mounted in the fourth field from the left: ro,umask=000

This mounts the fs in read-only mode. The umask means that ordinary users can read the information on the partition. The next time you reboot, the changes should take effect.

You can specify the user access rights to your /mnt/c directory when you issue the mount command. For example,

where x# is the drive and partition number (ie hda2, hdc1 etc)
