I've been a Ubuntu user for 10 years and was astonished to learn today
that iptables just lets everything through by default on Ubuntu desktop.
I'm a grad student in a CS department at a university, and had to learn
this the hard way after one of the desktop machines in our lab was
compromised.

Sorry to bring up a 4 month old topic, but I wouldn't want to see ufw
enabled by default without a proper discussion.
I've previously managed servers (both real and virtual) remotely and if
installing ufw meant that the firewall suddenly went up, I might lose my
remote connection to the servers.
Jeremy,
I believe that without a graphical tool it is even more critical to have
ufw enabled and running by default. Anyway, no worries about my patch
and bug reports. I forked and patched ufw and have the package available
in my PAA at

Santeri, see comment #6. There still is no graphical tool in Ubuntu's
default desktop to enable and disable ufw. Therefore, we won't be able
to accept your patch.

What is the point in adding ufw to a distribution if it's disabled by
default? Surely those users who know how to enable it are also able to
also disable, install and uninstall it as well. Ordinary desktop users
using computers as tools have no idea what a firewall is and why it's
needed.
