normal user access folders


i just added ntfs support and i added the following to my fstab

/dev/hdb5 /mnt/c auto ro,auto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/e ntfs ro,auto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb7 /mnt/d ntfs ro,auto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb8 /mnt/k auto auto,user,exec 00

everything works fine on root but normal users can't access these folders.

maybe because you have user in your lines. It should be users, I think, or whatever the name of the users group is. Else you can set it to GID=number, where number is the number of the group users. To see what number your users are in do an:

bash-2.05$ id

it should produce some info on your current user.

according to the docs i read
it should be user or nouser which specifies whether users are allowed to mount it or not
but even though i have specified user i still get a permission denied error.
