Yes, using -remsh, like this:

  Terminal 1:
	# erl -sname foo -setcookie abc
	Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

	Eshell V5.8.5  (abort with ^G)
	(
)1>

  Terminal 2:
	# erl -sname bar -setcookie abc -remsh

	Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

	Eshell V5.8.5  (abort with ^G)
	(
)1> node().

	(
)2> nodes().
	[

	(
