Hi,

I did not write this script myself. I was searching the net for a solution
to this problem, and I found a thread on ntfs-3g forums where somebody had
posted this script. Apparently, it had worked for him and some other people.
I just copied and pasted the script. But since I wanted to know more about
startup scripts, I looked at the manual page for rc.d, and a sample script
there looked exacly liked this one. That's why I thought that the script
that I have is going to work as well.
I made the changes and am going to reboot the machine now. If they work,
i'll post the results...

Thanks a lot :)
