With screen you can share sonsole among multiple users connected locally or via ssh. To do so, follow these steps, the instructions are for a typical Debian system, but likewise apply to other distributions.
1. Install screen
sudo apt-get install screen
2. From the host computer runs with the screen parameter to start a session screen-S sessionname. -S allows you to specify a name for the session, this allows you to manage multiple sessions and many user simultaneously, easily.

4. The remote user (guest) uses SSH to connect to remote computer (remotehost)
ssh guest @ remotehost
5. The host computer (remotehost) consents to the connection in multi-user screen session by typing CTRL-A: multiuser on (all 'command screen' to start with the escape sequence CTRL-A). CTRL-A: multiuser on
6. Thus, the host (remotehost) must grant permission for the remote user (guest) to allow access to screen session with commadn CTRL-A: acladd user_name where user_name is the user's remote login.
CTRL-A: acladd guest
7. The remote user can connect to the host session. The syntax to connect to the screen session from another user is host_username screen-x / sessionname.
