Well what if you have a linux box acting as a samba server? (Am I going to get shot if I dig too deep here? ) It still makes no sense to me...
Samba on linux still relies on underlying fs to access NTFS and currently only read-only unless you use capture. eco2geek's referred to using the smbfs which would mount a remote server that is running Windows that can read/write NTFS.
