Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

I know of no way to satisfy your requirements, with the possible exception of writing a custom version of the usb driver. Even if you did manage to limit access to specific ports, it would seem that could be easily bypassed by unplugging something from an open port and inserting a USB hub.

Doing a search and destroy of usb-storage.ko might be a solution. I tried blacklisting it here but it still gets loaded in response to an explicit modprobe of the module. Perhaps writing custom udev rules might also be a solution.
