Harrumph. It "failed" me because ssh and kerberos ports were detected.  
My email server (IMAP/SMTP) is kerberized and I can run a virtual  
desktop through an ssh tunnel anywhere on the Internet, but I still  
flunk the test.

ssh and kerberos are turned off "out of the box" on Macs, which might  
explain Bob's results. But it's kind of scary that they seem to have  
no idea about the difference between secure and insecure connections.  
It seems the only computers they'd pass are ones that allow NO  
connections. Kinda like Nancy Reagan telling hormone-saturated  
teenagers to "Just say no."
