Title:
  gufw and Windows shares

Status in Gufw:
  Fix Committed
Status in “gui-ufw” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  gufw by default does not allow Nautilus to see Windows shares (seen on
  a home network, Windows is a non-domain Win7 machine). This is widely
  reported, see https://answers.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+question/72444. I
  think the default policy should allow it, but even with the current
  policy, gufw should provide an easy way to install the relevant rules
  (just adding the Samba Service does not work).

  Importance: many people probably disable the firewall altogether
  because Windows access is important to them, and the configuration is
  difficult.

  Workaround:

  - Download application profiles from
  http://jhansonxi.blogspot.com/2010/10/ufw-application-profiles.html
  into /etc/ufw/applications.d/

  sudo ufw enable
  sudo ufw allow samba
  sudo ufw allow from any app Samba

  Thanks!
