Did you look at section 4.9 "How do I change the permissions of a
mounted NTFS Volume?"?
Paul.
No I hadn't got down that far. I scanned quickly and saw that it was
all NTFS related, and taking the warnings seriously I decided against
messing with NTFS at all.
I did go back now and read it however, especially the section you
bookmarked. That plus reading 'man fstab' and 'man mount' finally got
me a configuration that works as I want. For archive readers of this
post the line in fstab that works is:
/dev/hda6 /mnt/win vfat rw, uid=username, gid=username 0 0
Thanks for the help Paul!

I usually tend to add the fstab entry for vfat so only gid is provided
and have a special group to access the partition, so I won't be
constrained at only one user, but a whole Linux group, to which I can
add or remove users from. However for personal use and if you are the
only person that uses the computer, the method is Ok.
