If you wish to run Samba on your firewall and access shares between the firewall and local hosts, you need the following rules: /etc/shorewall/rules:#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S) SOURCE # PORT(S) ACCEPT fw loc udp 137:139 ACCEPT fw loc tcp 137,139,445 ACCEPT fw loc udp 1024: 137 ACCEPT loc fw udp 137:139 ACCEPT loc fw tcp 137,139,445 ACCEPT loc fw udp 1024: 137 To pass traffic SMB/Samba traffic between zones Z1 and Z2: /etc/shorewall/rules:#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S) SOURCE # PORT(S) ACCEPT Z1 Z2 udp 137:139 ACCEPT Z1 Z2 tcp 137,139,445 ACCEPT Z1 Z2 udp 1024: 137 ACCEPT Z2 Z1 udp 137:139 ACCEPT Z2 Z1 tcp 137,139,445 ACCEPT Z1 Z1 udp 1024: 137 To make network browsing (Network Neighborhood) work properly between Z1 and Z2 requires a Windows Domain Controller and/or a WINS server. I run Samba on my firewall to handle browsing between two zones connected to my firewall. Details are here.
