then you'd have to edit/setup your pg_hba.conf correctly in order to allow the postgres on the local machine without password. but that's merely a standard postgresql setup question, not really icinga idoutils related. furthermore, the quickstart is intended as short info how it would work by default. mostly, systems differ in their way and their sysadmins taking care of the software installed. so bringing your postgresql in shape for creating a user, a database and importing a schema could be done in various ways - not only the one described in the quickstart guides.
