Subject: Ntfs partitions
Hi i have an ntfs partition which i want mounted automatically on a normal users account as read only. When i login to a users account the partition is not mounted to mount it i have to provide a root password which i dont want to disclose to my friends. How can i make my Ubuntu mount the partition automatically in read only.
