I heard something about a read only NTFS-hack for Linux. If I remember that MCSE book, I think the encryption is local, but the user/passwords are stored on the Primary Domain Controler (in some setups). I can't imagine linux converting permisions to user/groups.. NTFS doesn't offer that luxury to people migrating from Novell Netware to NTFS, I think. Since that was very long ago, I may be 100% wrong. link to project.

Edit: After reading the mounting walkthrough, the only mention is writing to NTFS so it can be read other than the Administrator. (But he substitues "root". Maybe I'm reading it wrong, due to my lack of linux experience.)
Disclaimer:Technicaly, I think this is/will be a feature of linux. The news claims it'll be apart of the 2.5 kernel, so I'm assuming it's common knowlege. I can't believe MS would allow this to rip NT/XP's security to shreads.
 
thanks... hey spanky I download that file and go to unzip it but it always comes up with an error... any other ideas?
