[Samba] Configuring firewall to allow Samba to work

[Nobody]

Dear Folks,

This is a note for all those people out there who had to turn off their 
firewalls (iptables) to get Samba to work.  First start the GUI 
interface to the firewall by typing

[somedir]# redhat-config-securitylevel

Click on Customize.

Click the check box for your network adapter (usually eth0).

Click on the checkboxes for any services you want to allow (I allow WWW, 
FTP, SSH, DHCP, and Telnet).

In the Other ports edit box, enter 
137:udp,137:tcp,138:udp,138:tcp,139:udp,139:tcp.  At a command prompt type

[somedir]# service iptables stop
Flushing all chains:   [  OK  ]
Removing user defined chains:  [  OK  ]
Resetting built-in chains to the default ACCEPT policy:[  OK  ]
[somedir]# service iptables start
Flushing all current rules and user defined chains:[  OK  ]
Clearing all current rules and user defined chains:[  OK  ]
Applying iptables firewall rules:  [  OK  ]
This should allow all the packets necessary for Samba.
