The gid=xxx option can also be useful.  Put all users
who should get access to the Windows partition in a
group called, say, 'win' and use the group id of that
group in the option.  You'll still need umask, but set
it to allow write access only for the owning user and
group, not others.

e.g. /dev/hda1 /windows auto
rw,user,noauto,gid=100,umask=002

where 100 is the id of the windows group.

If you use KDE, you can have people automatically
added to the windows group on kdm login, using pam.

While since I've done it, but I did get it working.

Cheers
Tony
