FYI, "remote" is not a recognized flag in ttytab. The only flags which
are recognized by the getttyent(3) routine are
on
off
secure
local
window=
The absence of "local" is enough to do what you want.
Adding "remote" (or any other non-flag word) will cause getttyent(3) to
think it has seen the beginning of a comment and it will therefore
cease processing the ttytab entry. So this will only work properly if
"remote" is the last "flag" on the line.
