[LBo] Permissions and NTFS

[Troy]

I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10.  I have 2 HDD with 2
partitions on each; each HDD has one NTFS & one ext3 partition.  Under
Ubuntu 7.04, I had to manually mount the NTFS, and the ext3 partition on
HDD2 when I need to move or get files from those partitions.  However, under
7.10 it appears that Ubuntu auto mounts my outer HDD and partitions on boot,
and ls -l on /media shows the following permissions

> drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 8192 2008-01-01 11:24 hda1  (NTFS)
> drwxr-xr-x 5 troy troy    4096 2007-09-11 09:23 sda1      (Ext3)
> drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 4096 2007-12-13 09:35 sda2  (NTFS)


I'm curious to know why the partitions formatted NTFS are mounted with
different permissions than the partition formatted ext3?  I looked at my
/etc/fstab file and see the following

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
