Yes - sorry - I should have been more  descriptive :(

You should get something similar to the following:

$ sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
Samba                      ALLOW       Anywhere
Apache                     ALLOW       Anywhere
22                         ALLOW       Anywhere
514/udp                    ALLOW       Anywhere


$ sudo netstat -auntp | grep samba
