  <caution>
    <para><emphasis role="bold">This article applies to Shorewall 4.3 and
    later. If you are running a version of Shorewall earlier than Shorewall
    4.3.5 then please see the documentation for that
    release.</emphasis></para>
  </caution>

  <para>If you wish to run Samba on your firewall and access shares between
  the firewall and local hosts, you need the following rules:</para>

  <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE   DEST   PROTO    DPORT          SPORT
SMB(ACCEPT)  $FW      loc
SMB(ACCEPT)  loc      $FW</programlisting>

  <para>To pass traffic SMB/Samba traffic between zones Z1 and Z2:</para>

  <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE   DEST   PROTO    DPORT          SPORT
SMB(ACCEPT)  Z1       Z2
SMB(ACCEPT)  Z2       Z1</programlisting>

  <para>To make network browsing (<quote>Network Neighborhood</quote>) work
  properly between Z1 and Z2 <emphasis role="bold">requires a Windows Domain
  Controller and/or a WINS server.</emphasis> I have run Samba on my firewall
  to handle browsing between two zones connected to my firewall.</para>

  <para>When debugging Samba/SMB problems, I recommend that you do the
  following:</para>

  <orderedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>Copy <filename>action.Drop</filename> and
      <filename>action.Reject</filename> from <filename
      class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall</filename> to <filename
      class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>Edit the copies and remove the <emphasis
      role="bold">SMB(DROP)</emphasis> and <emphasis
      role="bold">SMB(REJECT)</emphasis> lines.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><command>shorewall restart</command></para>
    </listitem>
  </orderedlist>

  <para>The above steps will cause SMB traffic that is dropped or rejected by
  policy to be logged rather than handled silently.</para>

  <para>If you are using <trademark>Windows XP</trademark> to test your
  setup,make you sure you have a properly configured client firewall .</para>

  <para>You can just remove the copies and <command>shorewall
  restart</command> when you are finished debugging.</para>
