Sorry to bring up a 4 month old topic, but I wouldn't want to see ufw
enabled by default without a proper discussion.
I've previously managed servers (both real and virtual) remotely and if
installing ufw meant that the firewall suddenly went up, I might lose my
remote connection to the servers.
Jeremy,
I believe that without a graphical tool it is even more critical to have
ufw enabled and running by default. Anyway, no worries about my patch
and bug reports. I forked and patched ufw and have the package available
in my PAA at
Santeri, see comment #6. There still is no graphical tool in Ubuntu's
default desktop to enable and disable ufw. Therefore, we won't be able
to accept your patch.

What is the point in adding ufw to a distribution if it's disabled by
default? Surely those users who know how to enable it are also able to
also disable, install and uninstall it as well. Ordinary desktop users
using computers as tools have no idea what a firewall is and why it's
needed.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about whether ufw
should enable itself upon installation, but what other operating systems
do is a very poor basis upon which to make that decision.

Sorry for the separate comment. Thoughts occurred to me just after
posting.
A good firewall (i.e. one that offers security without interfering with
your intended activity) requires configuration and some decisions on the
part of the user. There's ultimately no way of getting around that.
If a
This can't be enabled until there is a graphical tool in the default
desktop installation. Once that is done and there is proper integration
with the desktop, it can be reconsidered. At present ufw can be
preseeded in all Ubuntu installations to be enabled on first boot.

ufw should be enabled
Windows comes with firewall enabled by default.
Does Mac OS X?
Perhaps Linux should too?
