Antw: iplike install problem? prompting for password

This is basically an operating system problem - there is a password
required to run the desired command beeing user postgres (-u postgres).
There should be a user postgres in the /etc/passwd file and most
probably there is a standard password (google for it) or a password
defined by someone for this user. If you have root access - change to
the root user, then submit the command, this should do the trick. If
not, from root try su - postgres, now you should have the right to run
the command.

Has anyone received this error when installing OpenNMS on ubuntu 10.04
lts
I*ve edited the pg_hba.conf so that the local auth method is trust, I
was able to create the opennms db with *u postgres

I*m able to connect to the network listener..
$ psql -U postgres --host=localhost opennms
psql (8.4.9)
SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256)
Type "help" for help.

opennms=# 

When I try to run the iplike install it prompts for a  password... and
there isn*t a password for postgres. hitting enter just gives *sorry
try again* 

sudo -u postgres install_iplike.sh
[sudo] password for postgres:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for postgres: 

Thanks!
