There is, set a suitable umask value. By default, NTFS partitions are
mounted readable only by the user that mounted them. Setting umask=222
makes them readable by everyone, but still writable by no-one (although
NTFS is usually mounted ro so this makes little difference). See the NTFS
section of man mount.
