Empathy's "People Nearby" feature doesn't work out of the box because
the required ports are blocked by default by the firewall
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844308). It's a similar
story with Gnome's "Media Sharing" feature, and I'm sure there are lots
of other examples.
AFAIR the samba client port is also blocked by default which makes it
impossible to share files with windows machines
what is a samba *client* port?
if you want to offer shares you are a *server*
*server ports* for *incoming* connections must be closed as default
to protect people not knowing what they are doing before read minimal
manpages like "do not open samba on the WAN" - period
Nobody questions this. Thie issue in this thread is if we could find
ways to make it simpler to enable these services.
