That seems to be broken, I have tried to sudo it a couple of times but it
comes up with some python errors. I was trying to open up tcp 139,445
and udp 137,138 to do some Samba shares, but ended up having to
disable iptables to get it to work.

line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
