Bug Description
Certain packages include ufw application profiles making it easier for the user to allow or deny the application through the firewall. The one for the samba package looks like this:
$ cat /etc/ufw/
[Samba]
title=LanManage
description=The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB/CIFS protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
ports=137,
What's missing are the wsdd ports.
Modifying the samba ufw profile to include them would only make sense when wsdd is finally made a dependency of the samba package. In the interim I suggest that the wsdd package include it's own application profile.
It would look something like this:
[wsdd]
title=Windows Services Discovery Protocol
description=Used to announce Linux Hosts to Win7+ computers while network browsing in their File Managers.
ports=3702/
Then to allow samba through the firewall the end user could run:
sudo ufw allow samba
sudo ufw allow wsdd
