"/etc/dev"?

You can't change that "-" to a "c" using
chmod. If you damaged a character-special
file ("c"), then I'd guess that you'd need to
delete what you have, and use mknod (or some
other tool with an easier-to-use interface)
to re-make the character-special file for
that device.

On the other hand, if there never was an
"rmt0" in "/etc/dev", then you could simply
delete that one, and start using the real
"rmt0", wherever it is.

Is there some real problem which you are
trying to solve? Are you trying to add a
tape drive to a Tru64 system? What are you
trying to do?
