Forgive my likely ignorance, but should the Firewall simply be set during install to allow outgoing connections on the relevant ports? This would not only allow KDE to browse shares by default but other desktop environments too.
I actually agree: the FW change is something that samba-client should take care off... I could be using any DE (GNOME, KDE, XFCE) and even CLI tools to browse shares.
the only common denominator would be samba libraries / client to actually handle that.
This might open the ports in too many cases. The goal is to modify the firewall setting if one of the desktop patterns gets selected. But not in general if one of libsmbclient or samba-clients gets installed.
We're talking about poutgoing connections that need a crazy connection tracking handler to be able to receive a reply (which is the purpose of the FW_LOAD_MODULES="nf_conntrack_netbios_ns" statement).. incoming connections (not initiated from the client) are of course a different ballgame -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
