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
