Terminal-sharing utility

I'm looking for some sort of server that allows me to share a terminal across a local network, so I can let my friend see what I'm doing. Preferably, the routine should go something like this:

* I run the program, and get a new terminal to play with.
* My friend connects to my computer and can see whatever I'm doing in the terminal.
* I close the shell in the terminal, and he gets disconnected.

All I know of is logging in through sshd or xinetd and running `screen -x`, but this involves passwords and I think those commands have to be run as root anyway. Any suggestions?

Well if you set up ssh using keys then their would be no passwords. screen is definitely the way to go IMO.

screen -x (I'm not sure either, I only tried it with same user (no root needed then))
dtach -a socket_file
tmux attach -t0
