[dilipam2509]

hello,
I am working in small firm which has a ubuntu as an O.S. I want to block a USB storage devices and games for a specific User so that they should not able to plug any USB storage device and play any kind of games. I tried doing code : modprobe -r usb_storage but please let me know whether i am going on right path or not....



Ubuntu

does your troublesome user always use the same machine?

if so, then better would be to go into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/storage
and delete usb-storage.ko, on that machine.

if different machines are used by the troublemaker, then perhaps a special
login script is in order--rename usb-storage.ko to something else: and then a
companion logout script, to change it back

The easiest solution is to post a policy and require a signed acknowlegment from all employees that game play during working hours is prohibited, and violation of this policy is grounds for immediate dismissal or other undesirable consequences for the violator. Then, when they continue to violate company policy, you have grounds for dismissal or other disciplinary actions.
