[NEVER TESTED] modprobe USB devices except keyboards and mice

[warron.french]

Hello, where I work we have to put in USB device kernel driver 'blocks.'

Is there a way to modproble 'block' USB mass storage devices, but still allow USB keyboards and mice?

If so, what is the appropriate syntax for such a goal, and what else is left 'usable?'


Thank you in advance,

A udev rule similar to this should match USB storage only:

Code: Select all

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb", RUN="/bin/true"

Super Jamie, and this will enable all other types of USB devices while still disabling USB storage devices?


Please confirm, thanks.
