Samba [SOLVED]

[bitsnpcs]

Hello newtusmaximus,

in the

Code:

man ufw

under "Application Integration" section it says the new profiles skip, my understanding (which may be wrong) that -
1/you can add rules to allow the applications to pass the firewall.
2/ without adding the specific rule to allow an application "ufw allow<app name>" then default is to skip, the process of adding new rules for applications.

I think it means for example if a rogue app decided to add its own rules to bypass the firewall it wouldn't allow this as the sudo user has not entered the rule specifying the app/software by name in terminal ?

I don't know why it has happened to mine and others, yet not yours, but its good it didn't happen 


Hello Ottawagrant,

Good to read you have not had the rules added 

I also have not added any rules, there were only the default rules until these appeared.
I have done both ways, upgrading in the 2.n series. A clean install in 3 series, as I had first installed quite soon before the next version.

In the Install Updates last week there was almost a full GUI of Samba updates from Ubuntu repo, I think 1 or 2 lines short of a full window.
If it was something that came down in the Ubuntu repo updates would this have went out to every distro based on Ubuntu ?
