No, user means that any user can mount the partition.  There is an
option uid, so to use your example

/dev/hdd3 /media/Whatever ntfs umask=0002,rw,user,noauto,uid=myusername

uid could also be a numeric UID which you can find in the /etc/passwd file.

I would *not* user the rw, and umask=0002 options unless I was using
ntfs-3g.  The options "ro,umask=0222" are my suggestion unless you don't
value your data.  :)

In any case, I no longer store anything on ntfs except windows itself.
For projects that are done under windows, I have moved everything into
an ext3 partition (actually a USB hard drive) and installed the ext2/3
driver for windows.  If there is a problem it is easier for me to rescue
data off of an ext based file system.
