[rt-users] RTFM - make initdb not using the rt_user password

I've got RT installed and can log in as the rt 'root' user, but I am
having trouble installing RTFM. I get to the point of make initdb and
get the following output:

~/Desktop/RTFM-2.2.0RC2 $make initdb
/opt/local/bin/perl -Ilib -I/opt/rt3/lib
/opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action schema --datadir etc

...returned with error: 65280
make: *** [initdb] Error 255


Now, the obvious problem is that rt_user has a password assigned to
it, but the make initdb for RTFM is not attempting to use one and I am
uncertain how to tell it to do so.

Any hints?

Thank you.
