Hi Marcos, I can't believe it is safe, but I have not found a better way
to allow the broadcast to be returned so that we may discover the nodes
on the network which are sharing samba. It would be worth testing and
looking into what samba clients specifically requires to be able to see
broadcast packets being returned.

ufw/gufw need a preset for samba-client

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ufw

Going to "Places > Network" returns "unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server" when ufw is enabled. Turning off ufw allows receiving responses from the samba broadcast (tested in GNOME's "Places > Network" and with smbtree). There is no preset for samba-client in ufw/gufw. This bug requests a "samba-client" preset for ufw/gufw which allows inbound udp ports 1024-65535.

By allowing inbound udp ports 1024-65535, browsing shares through Places > Network works as expected.
