Yes I think so.  Here's one solution that's a bit convoluted but works:

1.  You set up a screen session local to your own machine, reachable by JJ.
2.  JJ runs this command (could be in the form a script) to ssh to your
machine:

   ssh -R 2222:someinternalserver:22 -l supportusername yoursupporthost
   screen -x
3.  You use the tunnel to ssh back to his machine, and he can type the
password for you.
4.  Assist in setup


This is a bit convoluted though, and may not be appropriate for JJ.  For
my purposes it would be fine, although maybe a bit slow (extra latency
with 2 round-trips for every keystroke).

Maybe I can modify kibitz to do what I want.  Some kind of SSL-protected
port.
