I want to connect to my server, run screen as root and then let

with screen a lot but it seems a nice feature to teach him how to
configure certain things.

you do not need to run screen as root, but you prolly already know that.
when starting screen always use;
  [user@machine ~]$ screen -D -R
If you want to share your screen then start with the -x option, after logging as the same user. Not part of the original question, but three of my favorite screenrc settings

# make the shell in every window a login shell
shell -$SHELL
# really cool status line
hardstatus alwayslastline "%{= kr}%C %D/%d %{= bw} %-w%{rw}%n %t%{= bw}%+w"
# make the spacebar list all the windows
bind ' ' windowlist -b

Another fun thing to do when sharing a screen session is to split it so that one person is on the top part of the screen in a shell, and another person is on the bottom screen. To split the screen Ctrl-A + S, then to tab from top to bottom ctrl-a+tab. To go back to single pane type ctrl-a+Q
