Authentication for USB Access from ldap server as centralised

HI All,

Kindly help me to configure the ldap server which is used to authenticate my all cleints from usd access..I need to block all the usb access to the clients...

RHEL5.4

If I'm understanding you properly, you're wanting to prevent people from inserting a USB stick. In Red Hat (and most linux distros) you do this by adding the usb storage kernel module to the modprobe blacklist. Preventing that module from loading prevents automounts and manual mounts from being able to successfully complete, effectively killing off USB storage on that computer.

If you have a paid subscription the process is documented here: How to disable USB storage devices on Red Hat Enterprise Linux? - Red Hat Customer Portal

But the process is basically to add "blacklist usbstorage" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot.
