Firehol Prevents Me From Joining Domain

I'm running firehol on a Debian test server. I have the winbind service running to resolve NT domain user names. I have the following services defined for my LAN interface in the firehol.conf file.

lan_ips="192.168.0.0/24"

interface eth0 Lan src "${lan_ips}"

        policy reject
        server microsoft_ds accept
        server samba accept
        client all accept 

Whenever I try to join the domain "net rpc join -W DOMAIN -U administrator" I get a message saying "Unable to find a suitable server" and I find the following in my logs:

Aug 19 08:55:51 server kernel: ''IN-Lan':'IN=eth0 OUT=

MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX SRC=192.168.0.9
DST=192.168.0.197 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=53787 PROTO=UDP
SPT=137 DPT=1033 LEN=70

Clearly the response is being blocked by my firewall and when I shut the firewall down, I can easily join the domain. I know that this relates to a hack in the Samba service defined in Firehol (http://firehol.sourceforge.net/services.html?#samba). Is there a work around that I can use in my configuration file? Something that allows responses only from a certain host, like the PDC?
