what about using the existing options:

     $HOME/.ssh/rc
             If this file exists, it is run with /bin/sh after reading the 
en-
             vironment files but before starting the user's shell or 
command.
             It must not produce any output on stdout; stderr must be used 
in-
             stead.  If X11 forwarding is in use, it will receive the "proto
             cookie" pair in its standard input (and DISPLAY in its environ-
             ment).  The script must call xauth(1) because sshd will not run
             xauth automatically to add X11 cookies.

             The primary purpose of this file is to run any initialization
             routines which may be needed before the user's home directory 
be-
             comes accessible; AFS is a particular example of such an 
environ-
             ment.

             This file will probably contain some initialization code 
followed
             by something similar to:

             if read proto cookie && [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
                     if [ `echo $DISPLAY | cut -c1-10` = 'localhost:' ]; 
then
                             # X11UseLocalhost=yes
                             echo add unix:`echo $DISPLAY |
                                 cut -c11-` $proto $cookie
                     else
                             # X11UseLocalhost=no
                             echo add $DISPLAY $proto $cookie
                     fi | xauth -q -
             fi

             If this file does not exist, /etc/ssh/sshrc is run, and if that
             does not exist either, xauth is used to add the cookie.

             This file should be writable only by the user, and need not be
             readable by anyone else.

     /etc/ssh/sshrc
             Like $HOME/.ssh/rc.  This can be used to specify 
machine-specific
             login-time initializations globally.  This file should be
             writable only by root, and should be world-readable.
