Dear All,

We have the mix network of Ubuntu and Windows clients.
Thus to avoid the spread of virus as well as misuse of the system for
other purpose and leakage of data, I want to disable usb ports of mass
storages.


Does anyone can help me how to disable USB ports for mass storages in Ubuntu 8.10

Regards

Arun

I found https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/30501 , which
discusses several possible solutions. I haven't tested any of them.

If it is anything like Hardy: System|Administration|Users &
Groups|Properties|User Privileges|uncheck Access external storeage
devices automatically. You can also set (in Hardy) using
System|Administration|Authorizations|storage|Mount file systems from
removable drives
