You will still have to forward the X11 authentication to
the client machine with xauth(1) or xhost(1), I think.
Using xhost(1) is much easier, but it's insecure. On the
other hand you're using rsh and a public network socket
to connect to, so everything you do is insecure anyway.
I hope you're going to make your users aware of that.
Best regards
