How to disable getty in a Unix System

[icreek]

How can I disable getty in a HP-UX system?
I want to have a HP-UX system talk to a Windows 95 PC, with Hyperterminal (and later via a C based program) via a serial cable.
I want to communicate character based.
The port on HP-UX is Serial 0 "/dev/tty0p0"
But when I send some characters and a <CR>, HP-UX 'thinks' you are trying to login and hyperterminal is prompted for a 'password'.
I want to disable this.
Please Help.

the command you are looking for is pdisable. Run the command with the port number as an option. Example: pdisable /dev/pts/0.

Also - check /etc/inittab for a getty.
