FreeBSD is being a bit out of step here --- the default superuser name
is "postgres" in most distros. If you can't persuade the OpenNMS
installer to use a nonstandard superuser name, it's no big deal ---
just create a second superuser role named "postgres". See the CREATE
ROLE command, or use the "createuser" script.
