In the first terminal, start tmux where shared is the session name and shareds is the name of the socket:
tmux -S /tmp/shareds new -s shared
In the second terminal attach using that socket and session.
tmux -S /tmp/shareds attach -t shared
The decision to work read-only is made when the second user attaches to the session.
tmux -S /tmp/shareds attach -t shared -r
