    asking for permission when mounting NTFS in ubuntu 11.04

    Hi,

    I have both windows and ubuntu 11.04. In ubuntu I can mount then edit NTFS drive without being asked for permission. It's not safe that way because anyone using my computer can edit my windows files. How do I make it ask for password when mounting NTFS?

    Thanks,

    Lam

    No, what I'm looking for is a simple way to type in password when I need to mount NTFS, not changing read/write permission to the files.

    Here is the trick for Ubuntu 10.04. I just hope we can do the same thing for ubuntu 11.04.
