Hi all, I understand that in order to allow samba to work, we need to allow several ports, such as tcp 445, tcp/udp 137,138,139.
But recently a friend of mine said that the only port needs to be opened is tcp 445? Is this true? What is the actual purpose of those 137:139 ports? In /etc/services it's said that they are netbios-ssn. But I'm not really sure the real meaning of it.
