Thanks for the information. The users don't have admin rights, so
this would be no problem.
I mentioned it in another post, disabling the USB mass storage
driver by modifying its Info.plist file workes fine.
Now I am thinking if there is an easy way for a more advanced
solution which would allow to define the USB devies which are
allowed in some sort of "white list" (maybe by specifying PID,
VID or other properties of an USB device).
Best regards,
