As I know, there is no possibility to write into NTFS from linux. But 
read-only share is no problem.
You have to install samba package (sudo apt-get install samba), then configure 
it - I assume that 'share' level security will be enough. Then you need to 
mount NTFS partition somewhere. Then you have to share it with samba.

Example:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/ntfs

#smb.conf
...
security = share
...
[ntfs]
path=/mnt/ntfs
writeable=no
browseable=yes
public=yes
guest ok=yes
#smb.conf

Try excellent samba HowTo located at www.samba.org
