You can use screen to share the terminal session.

If using same username on remote machine:

Code:
<you> screen
<otheruser> screen -x

If using different usernames:

Code:
<you> screen -S <enter a name>
<you> ctrl-a : at bottom type multiuser on
<you> ctrl-a : at bottom type acladd <other user>
<other user> types screen -x <your username>/ to join the session
