I can tell you it took me a while to figure out what ports Samba needed. I had googled for it, and apparently found innaccurate or old information (this was before I knew about netstat). Anyway, this should make it much simpler. I do have one suggestion though. I am the type of sysadmin who likes to know exactly what is going on with his system (which is probably why I generally like text editing config files over gui interfaces), so it would be nice if a short message after running the command would tell you what ports were being opened (I know I could just look over the config file, but to make things easier...). Such as: $ sudo ufw allow Apache-Full Opening 80,443/tcp This would give me some peace of mind to know it is opening the ports I want, and also be convenient for services with unkown ports in case I would need to open those ports on an external firewall appliance.
