I need to delete a TTY in my AIX 4.3 system. I have tried using the smit but everytime I try it, there is a message telling me that the device is in use and cannot be changed. How do I take the device "offline", so to speak, so that I can edit the settings and/or delete it.

cfgmgr.auth
cfgmgr.auth(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual cfgmgr.auth(4)
NAME
cfgmgr.auth - Configuration management server authorization database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/cfgmgr.auth
DESCRIPTION
The cfgmgr.auth file lists the remote systems that are authorized to modify the local system's kernel subsystem configuration. Using the
sysconfig command, system administrators can maintain the kernel subsystem configuration on local and remote hosts. To secure access to
the kernel subsystem configuration, the local configuration management server (cfgmgr) answers requests from remote systems only when the
remote system is listed in the cfgmgr.auth file.
Each entry in the file has the following form:
host-name
Where host-name specifies the full domain name of the remote host. You must list each remote host on a separate line and only the first
128 characters of each line are read and processed. Lines beginning with the pound sign (#) are comments.
If the cfgmgr.auth file does not exist, the configuration management server assumes no remote system administrators are allowed to config-
ure, reconfigure, or unconfigure any kernel subsystem on the local host.
EXAMPLES
The following shows entries in the cfgmgr.auth file on a host named buster:
salmon.zk3.dec.com
trout.zk3.dec.com
bluefish.zk3.dec.com
This cfgmgr.auth file allows system administrators on the salmon, trout, and bluefish hosts to configure, reconfigure, and unconfigure sub-
systems on buster.
