I am having write access to NTFS on gnome

I noticed that I have write access to ntfs partitions as a normal user without any setup on GNOME. Just want to make sure it is using the safe ntfs-3g driver. How exactly do I find this out?

Try "cat /etc/mtab" after mounting it from within GNOME.

unixguru this is possible because of hal. hal is mounting automaticaly ntfs and if you don't have ntfs-3g it will complain. if doesn't then hal will mount ntfs with ntfs-3g
