When I run the program I get a message telling me to run /usr/bin/ 
updatemanager.

The man page doesn't list any options to input user and password.

Does it go in a configuration file somewhere?

Do you have a paid support contract?  If you do, then it is likely you  
registered your machine, which will also make smpatch work.

Plus, I think you can use some feature without being registered or  
without supplying authentication, such as installing patch files and  
directories.  In fact, I know you can because that's how I updated  
today.

But I can't run the program and use the automated features, at least  
not yet.
