rmt(8) returns the result of MTIOCGET filled into struct mtget in response to the 'S' command, issued by dump(8) of some certain OSs including Solaris. (FreeBSD's one seems to not issue the 'S' command) Due to the extention made to struct mtget in FreeBSD, remote dump from, eg Solaris to FreeBSD fails to establish rmt connection. Maybe we would have to provide something like struct mtget_org for compatibility with other OSs. Also, if we were to issue 'S' in our dump(8), some command extention may be required. (any plans?)
