Hello,

I have a dual boot windows / Gentoo system.  I have my NTFS (windows)
main partition listed in fstab with "user,noauto,nosuid, noatime".  A
normal user can mount and umount it, but cannot change directories, look
at files, etc. as they'll get a permission denied error.  When I list
the files and dirs, they all show up as belonging to "root:root", with
no access for group and others.

You may want to try speciying umask, or uid as described here:

My question is:  Is there a way to allow normal users to at least read
these files and change dirs, short of chown and/or chmod on the NTFS
partition?

and/or here:

HTH.
