USB Lock

[Mac Head]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there was any software for Mac OSX that will protect your data, by requiring a password when someone inserts a usb drive.
I found a few for windows.

Anything like this available for the Mac??

Thanks

Or is there a way of requiring a password every time data is to be copied to an external media?

Thanks

I'd simply encrypt the drive using either an encrypted disk image, or use TrueCrypt to create the volume. I know there's ways to disable the USB ports, but I don't know of a way to password protect them directly for known/unknown devices.

Oh right, thanks for the advice, but I would much rather password protect the USB ports.

Does anyone else have any thoughts?
