I've been working on a Samba machine for a while.
Recently, I tried to turn on its firewall.
But my configuration to iptables is flawed somehow -- it is half right and half wrong.
Here is what I've done: - I used system-config-securitylevel to config new ports to open - I've opened ports 139:tcp, 445:tcp, 137:udp, 138:udp - I restart the iptables to load up the configs.
Here is the consequence right now:
- As I reboot my client PC, I cannot connect to samba shared folders -- unless I stop iptables first
- After I've connected to Samba once, I can connect to Samba as many time as I want to -- even if I start iptables again.
I guest one more port or something is responsible for the first connection to the server.
Does anybody have any idea?
