Physically blocking access to ports

[yehuda]

I find that it is sometimes desirable to physically stop an IO port from being used.

Sometimes it's faulty onboard LAN that you've replaced with a PCI card, sometimes a faulty PS/2 port, sometimes a broken USB cluster on the back panel that could cause a short if used, and I imagine that in some environment one may wish to block front panel ports for security reasons.

I tried using super glue. It works, but looks somewhat messy after it dries off. I tried using silicone but I think it may be too soft for this purpose. I could be wrong though. Any recommendation?

Thanks

* I know it's possible to disconnect front panel ports from the motherboard.

hot glue or caulk would do the trick.
