Allow Rendezvous to work through Apple's Firewall

That's the entire point of a firewall--it allows outgoing communication, but not incoming except on ports that are specifically allowed.

There are good reasons not to allow certain outbound connections as well, and most firewalls also allow such restrictions (including apple's, though not through the gui).
