Thanks to: sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE BryanC@belkin.com cmorris@cs.odu.edu ellipses@society86.com Summary: The most comprehensive answer from cmorris@cs.odu.edu: /dev/dtremote is normal for the CDE login service, and is not harmful to your system. For remote connections, the value for 'line' in /etc/utmp must also exist as a device in the /dev directory for commands such as finger to operate properly. This resource specifies the pathname of the /dev file dtlogin will create when a remote display connects. the file will be created as a symbolic link to /dev/null. eg: ln -s /dev/null /dev/dtremote The specified value must start with "/dev/", otherwise no file is created.
