first of all - are you sure you're
a) talking about a volume (e.g. physical or logical disk?)
that you want to mount on one box, or
b) are you talking about a share with data, which you want
to make available to others, but they should only read from
it?
if a), this is simply related to ACLs (Access Control Lists
= Permissions, set via the Security tab) at the root of the drive - mounting the
drive itself doesn't allow to configure it for read-only. But you can
remove the "Everyone - Full Control" ACLs and replace them with something you'd
preferr (e.g. Administrators - Full Control and Users - Read Only). XCACLS
is one of those magic programs, which can do this for you.
if b), you simply set read-access at the share-level before
you mount the share for your users. This is now default in Win2003, but
prior versions grant Everyone Fullcontrol at the
share-level.

Subject: [ActiveDir] [OT] NTFS Read-only Status
I've tried this on
other groups, and it is not A/D related. But you guys know so
much...
I want a way to
mount an NTFS volume read-only. I want a magic command like "mode e: read-only".
:-)
It is clear to me
(and I've found references) that this is supported with NTFS (Windows XP and
above), but I cannot figure out/find out how to set it.
Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Michael
