I had to use xhost in order to allow remote OpenCL access on a 
Scientific Linux host a while back since remote logins can't access the 
hardware directly. It might be a sledge hammer but for once it was an 
appropriate tool.

If you use xhost I suggest the following ACL syntax:

   xhost +SI:localuser:${USER}

This restricts access to that user as far as the server can tell (SI = 
"server interpreted"). Disable the ACL with:

   xhost -SI:localuser:${USER}
