An earlier thread gave this note. With setup in /etc/fstab
mount by normal user is not recommended.
If you insist on that, here are the steps:
1. # chmod a+rw /dev/hda1
2. # echo user_allow_other >> /etc/fuse.conf
3. # chmod +s /bin/ntfs-3g
4. $ ntfs-3g -o dmask=022,fmask=111 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k

While it is on my list of todos I haven't actually tried this yet. Also it
may require more recent versions of ntfs-3g than you have for fc6.
