How to disable USB for storage devices in Suse?
Hello folks, for some confidential reason, I need to disable the USB to access the storage devices in Suse11.2, but I still need two USB for the mouse and keyboard. Anyone knows?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Add the module usb-storage to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist like this
Code:
cat >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist << EOF
blacklist usb-storage
EOF

This should block only USB storage devices, while leaving USB HIDs alone.

Thanks for your replay! I have tried your suggestion, but it seems it doesn't work. By the way, the OS I am using is Suse11.2.
In RedHat I just rename the file
Code:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/storag/usb-storage.ko

then it works, but in Suse11.2 I can't find such file in the corresponding directory.
Anyone has some other way? Thanks!
