How can I disable USB ports of my client PCs, such that USB ports will

Tell your users not to do that. If you can't trust them not to put a USB
stick into the computer I don't see why you're letting them use the
computer in the first place.

<snide remark>or let them use _my_ computer, which after upgrading,
F5 -> F7 -> F8, now behaves exactly like you want, which pisses me off
enormously. I.e., USB drives appear in /proc/partitions but won't
mount.</snide>

What about using SELINUX.  Isn't this part of the idea behind SELINUX?
