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.
