[Samba] samba through a firewall

[Thierry TERRIER]

Hi,
You have to open the following ports with associated protocols.
accept ... tcp destination port netbios-ssn
accept ... udp destination port netbios-ns
accept ... udp destination port netbios-dgm
Bastille firewall do that.
If you want to use smb or netbios broadcast names resolution (smblookup),
you must add
accept ... udp source port netbios-ns

Please forget telnet and use ssh in place.

Best regards
Thierry
