Product: drakxtools
Component: drakfirewall
Summary: Add SMB to the list of services that can be unblocked
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-0.27mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: drakfirewall
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mandrake is frequently used as a SMB server with use of Samba.
The list of ports that need to be passed through for the SMB protocol to work
lists 4 ports, and it's not very easy to find this list on the Internet.
Those ports are:
137/udp
138/udp
139/tcp
445/tcp
So anyone who would like to open SMB using drakfirewall, would have to click
"advanced" and type:
137/udp 138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp
This is far from intuitive of course, even for advanced power-users who want a
personal firewall on their workstation and filesharing with Windows at the same
time.
I propose that an additional checkbox be added to drakfirewall, "SMB", that
opens those 4 ports on the firewall.
