I have some Linux Debian machines that I want to prevent "unauthorized" devices from being plugged in. Basically I don't want employees plugging in external hard drives or USB thumb drives and moving data onto or off of the machines.
I would like to disable all the USB ports on the machine, but then I would have no way to plug in a keyboard and mouse. In the old days the mouse and keyboard plugged into PS/2 slots which were separate from the USB, but now all ordinary mice and keyboards are USB.
Is there any way I can allow just a mouse and keyboard and prevent all other access to the machine?
