Title:
  WSDD Package missing UFW application profile

Status in wsdd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Certain packages include ufw application profiles making it easier for
  the user to allow or deny the application through the firewall. The
  one for the samba package looks like this:

  $ cat /etc/ufw/applications.d/samba
  [Samba]
  title=LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix
  description=The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that 
implements the SMB/CIFS protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files 
and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes 
also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
  ports=137,138/udp|139,445/tcp

  What's missing are the wsdd ports.

  Modifying the samba ufw profile to include them would only make sense
  when wsdd is finally made a dependency of the samba package. In the
  interim I suggest that the wsdd package include it's own application
  profile.

  It would look something like this:

  [wsdd]
  title=Windows Services Discovery Protocol
  description=Used to announce Linux Hosts to Win7+ computers while network 
browsing in their File Managers.
  ports=3702/udp|5357/tcp

  Then to allow samba through the firewall the end user could run:

  sudo ufw allow samba
  sudo ufw allow wsdd
