Install the sshd (comes as part of SSH) on the server.  Hang the POP
server of /etc/inetd.conf (should happen automatically).  Make sure
that you are using TCP Wrappers (tcpd).  Add a line in
/etc/hosts.deny reading:

  <name of POP server>: all

Add a line to /etc/hosts.allow reading:

  <name of POP server>: localhost

Done.
