My issue regards an NTFS volume I've mounted on my 10.5.3 Intel
machine using MacFUSE.  I am honestly not sure if I should take this
up with MacFUSE or with ntfs-3g, so feel free to tell me to troll
elsewhere.

In a nutshell, I want to network-share some of my NTFS partition -
parts publicly read/writable, and parts read-only.  However, using
MacFUSE (including today's new version) and ntfs-3g, I have been
unable to achieve a read-only share.  File permissions are seen as
"You have custom access" throughout the mounted volume, and I can do
basically nothing with them; if I change an access setting in
Leopard's Sharing prefpane, the setting does not save, and resets the
next time I open the pane.  E.g, I am only able to create a share on
my NTFS volume that is Read/Write enabled for Everyone.

I've tried the baked ntfs-3g installation from http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
as well as installing it from source, and have been met with similar
results.  I tried mounting the volume manually with uid/gid options to
give me personal ownership, but then my permissions just become "You
can read and write" and I cannot edit them; plus, when the volume is
mounted in this way, I am no longer able to add any of its contents as
sharing locations in the Leopard prefpane.  (I also tried screwing
around with my smb.conf to this end, but was unsuccessful.  I think
Leopard has this hornswoggled somehow)

I feel like this is a permissions issue, e.g. Leopard needs to be able
to administer the volume for sharing, and it also needs me to be able
to administer it or it will ignore my sharing access settings.  Or,
maybe it's a filesystem problem of not dealing with NTFS permissions
right at all.  I'm not really sure.

Any ideas?
