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.
