 Sharing appears to be read-write by default, not read-only. In fact there
 does not seem to be any read-only sharing at all.

 With hardly more than a click, one can share the Terminal activity to the
 world. (it shows up in network view) Assuming that there isn't a bug to
 make this non-functional, everybody can start typing commands.

 There does not seem to be a decent way to stop sharing an activity. One
 must first shut down the activity, then delete the journal entry.
