- Assuming you're using ssh (I am guessing that you are), convince sshd

I would guess this is possible, but I don't know if there's an easy
way to do it.
I do this with the following code in ~/.ssh/rc:
if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]; then exit 0 ; fi
if [ ! -d /tmp/.${USER} ]; then # I actually don't reference $USER -
# just put your own ID there.
/bin/sh -c "umask 77 ; mkdir /tmp/.${USER}" ;
XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.${USER}/.Xauthority;
Please don't use that code if you want something robust. Use something
like the below (tossed off in a few seconds, so take with a grain of salt):
unset XAUTHORITY
if test ! -d "/tmp/.${USER}"; then
(umask 77; echo mkdir "/tmp/.${USER}") && \
XAUTHORITY="/tmp/.${USER}/.Xauthority"
else
touch "/tmp/.${USER}/.Xauthority" && \
XAUTHORITY="/tmp/.${USER}/.Xauthority"
fi
if test -z "${XAUTHORITY}"; then
# Something is wrong
test -t 2 && echo "Could not set XAUTHORITY" 1>&2
fi
