Why remove it? It simply says the connection/session terminated without
a logout.
How? I have no idea since that is a binary file and I would never want
to edit utmp. that keeps track of all logins for all users so it is easy
to follow what is happening/by whom/when
If you can edit the utmp file at will, it becomes easier for a hacker to
hide their tracks.
