Hello all:

    I was playing around with fstab and i was wondering if i could mount a NTFS 
partition such that non root users could read from it. here's the line that i came up 
with:

/dev/hda1    /mnt/windows    user,ro 1 1


    Using this line i'm able to mount the partition as root, and there is an icon on 
my non root user desktop for this partition, but i am not able to access it. 
"permission denied". I'm wondering if im not using the fstab commands right, or if 
this is just a built in security feature with kernel 2.4.8. I realise that reading a 
NTFS partition isnt the most stable thing to do in linux and that you might not want 
to allow all users to use it. But if im not writing the fstab line correctly, please 
gimme a hint, im such a linux noob, im helpless. thanks for your time.
