That's right. Use either ntfs-3g or kernel-module-ntfs. 
kernel-module-ntfs supports only read from NTFS and is 100% stable, 
whereas ntfs-3g supports also write to NTFS, see http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

Get ntfs-3g from the SL contrib:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/51/i386/contrib/ntfs/

And kernel-module-ntfs for your kernel from:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=redhat:rhel5
