Rather than have the unencrypted traffic go over the wire, it'd
probably be better to just tunnel the traffic through SSH.

Connect to the system with:

ssh -L8631:localhost:631 remotehost

And then connect to http://localhost:8631/ on the same machine you're
ssh'ing from.  

OpenSSH's tunnelling ability is great for this kind of thing.
