apt-get install ssh

you will need to ask your friend for his public key

create an account for him on your machine (or use root if you REALLY trust 
him:-() and in there create a directory called .ssh

Within that directory create a file called authorized_keys which contains his 
public key.  Since this is an ascii key he can easily e-mail it to you

check that hosts.allow has a line 

sshd:ALL

in it (or instead of ALL - his ip address)

If you have a firewall and/or a NAT address box in front of the machine you 
have to allow port 22 and forward connections from the nat box port 22 to 
your machines ip address.

Afraid I don't speak dutch

I travelled once a week to the Netherlands for about 8 months over the last 
year and I never yet met one person who couldn't speak English.
