man ntfs-3g
If ntfs-3g is set setuid-root then non-root users will be also able to
mount volumes
sudo chmod +s /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary
or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.

The information on this site is crap.
(Tried this all, no chance).
Tried to make a
ntfsuser
group...nothing.And the "big hint"
chown /dev/da0sX
to root:ntfsuser
or user:ntfsuser
... /dev/da0sX doesn't exist before I plug in.What's now? Set setuid or not? (I does not matter, it works neither nor).
I can mount CD-ROM as normal user, but not the external drive or USB - which had NTFS - I need it for exchange with Windows-pc's.
Ok, I can mount it with root or sudo(8), but all files have root as owner on the drive, this causes problems.
Sorry, this is since years f....... , 3817 explanations how it works, but none is right.
