Letting users look at a read-only FS

[Steve Juranich <sjuranic@ssli-mail.ee.washington.edu>]

I have the following /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system>	<mount point>	<type>	<options>			<dump>	<pass>
/dev/hda2	/		ext3	defaults,errors=remount-ro	0	1
/dev/hda3	none		swap	sw			0	0
proc		/proc		proc	defaults			0	0
/dev/fd0	/floppy		auto	defaults,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/sr0	/dvd		iso9660	defaults,ro,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/sr0	/cdrom		iso9660	defaults,ro,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/sr1	/cdrw		iso9660	defaults,ro,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/hda1	/windows	ntfs	defaults,ro,user,noauto		0	0

For my user accounts, I am able to mount /cdrom and /cdrw just fine.  However, 
I can't get my user accounts to read the /windows directory, even if I mount 
it as a user.  I've tried several different options in the fstab for /dev/
hda1, but I still can't let my user account read the device.

Once the device is mounted, I get the following: 

coffee (steve)$ ll -d /windows/
dr-x------    1 root     root         8192 Jun 17 09:03 /windows/

but mounted under the same options in /etc/fstab, /cdrom looks like this:

coffee (steve)$ ll -d /cdrom/
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root         2048 Apr 12 23:28 /cdrom/

Can somebody please tell me what's going on, and better yet, how to fix it?

Thanks.
