Hi, restrict - means that Linux users (non-root, to simplify the task) could be able to access only a particular predefined set of USB devices. Devices: Approved USB A (configured in the system), SN: XXX Not approved USB B (not defined anywhere): SN: YYY Scenario A: USB A is plugged to the system, USB is allowed to be mounted (automatically, or manually) for the users. Scenario B: USB B is plugged to the system, USB is not allowed to be mounted (automatically, or manually) for the users. Any ideas how to achieve this? I looked at DLP solutions, but there is little Linux support. another possible scope of tools - OS hardering tools, if udev would not be able to handle.
