Code:

###/etc/fstab

/dev/sda2    /mnt/ntfs2    ntfs-3g    fmask=111,dmask=000  1  0

I used

Code:

/dev/sda1        /mnt/ntfs0    ntfs-3g    fmask=111,dmask=000 1  0

/dev/sda2        /mnt/ntfs1    ntfs-3g    fmask=111,dmask=000 1  0

which is pretty much the same as yours. Since I use other software that requires the password prompt, I was looking for a universal solution so I used the method luvr posted. As I said, all the methods worked. There is more than one way to skin a cat!!!

@ Petri Kaukasoina & luvr

Code:

# Administrator user group, used to match @SYSTEM in cupsd.conf policy rules...

# This cannot contain the Group value for security reasons...

SystemGroup sys root

I changed SystemGroup sys root to SystemGroup sys root users and the password prompt went away. Thanks guys, you all been really helpful.
