Mounting NTFS partition linux

usually the following line in /etc/fstab should do the trick

/dev/hda2 /winc ntfs ro,users 0 0

and then a mount /winc

I had a problem wherein root could do a ls /winc and view contents of the NTFS directory whereas normal users couldnt. This was solved by doing the following

/dev/hda2 /winc ntfs ro,users,umask=000 0 0

Aside: This looks like a very good site for more info about NTFS operations in linux
