Controling access to USB devices
 
Hi,
How do I allow and / or deny access to USB devices that our users plug into their systems?

Let's say I want to allow this USB device to be mounted, but not allow any other USB devices:

Bus 007 Device 005: ID 090c:1000 Feiya Technology Corp. Memory Bar

How do I set it up? Is it possible at all?

Thanx

Depends on the distribution. If it is using hal/dbus, you tell it what hardware are blacklisted or what hardware that you do not want to be auto mount. If you are not using hal/dbus, you can configure it in udev or a certain script/program that auto mounts it.

Another route to take is use SELinux to provide program permissions like do not copy software to a certain directory or an external storage medium.
