Thanks to everyone for the posts. Here is where I am--I was able to mount the drive with a different uid/gid than root/root. cd /mnt sudo umount media sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /mnt/media -o uid=500,gid=1000 ls -al media total 233 drwxrwxrwx 1 craign family 4096 2007-12-12 23:04 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2007-12-02 14:13 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 craign family 0 2007-09-16 11:31 Craig ... But I'm still getting the same SELinux AVC denial when I try to access the drive through Network Places in the VMWare XP Pro virtual system. It keeps saying I need to setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro=1, which is already turned on. Any ideas?
