[Bug 579931] Re: ufw/gufw need a preset for samba-client

Samba server needs a number of ports to be open. This bug is not about
samba server(which works great).

Samba client needs to be able to receive unicast replies to multicast
query(completely different problem). The problem is that the firewall
does not know if the reply is inbound attack or inbound reply to
outbound query. There is a kernel module for that. Permanently opening
all udp ports is stupid solution. The real solution is given in Bug
#360975.

I'm marking it as a duplicate.

ufw/gufw need a preset for samba-client

Status in Gufw: Won't Fix
Status in “ufw” package in Ubuntu: New

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.
