How do I restrict access to removable storage media devices in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ?
Issue
- I need to restrict access to all removable media devices such as CD/DVD-Rom and USB devices.
- These must only be mountable by root or a select list of specific users.
-
The restriction should apply to the gdm login, console login, and even remote attempts via ssh.
-
The autorun/automount features must be disabled so that a CD or USB-device when inserted will not automatically mount.
