I would like to mount my ntfs partition to be readable to all

fstab line created by the Ubuntu install is:

/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 user,auto 0 0

What should it be so that the pertition is still mounted automatically
at boot time, but is readable to all non-root users?
tia, Mark W.

Mine is...
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs ro,users,uid=yogi 0 0
...and is readable by me (user). The 'uid=' parameter seems to be required.
Without it, only root can read /dev/hda1 (NTFS)
