Is there any way to force any usb mounting on my Macbook as a read-only?
My purpose is to prevent data leakage to any usb that could get connected on my Macbook.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
What is data leakage?
This is out of my zone of expertise, but maybe you can make something out of my guesswork. The proper way to do this, I think (if it's doable natively) would be through the fstab file - add a line or lines that tell the system to mount usb drives as read only. see man fstab. The man page says that you can specify block special devices as well as individual file systems, and that leads me to think that if you can figure out how to specify the usb ports on the device level you might be able to do what you want fairly simply.
