Sorry, that really should read "When prompted, enter the root password.".
"su" takes a username as its argument, and defaults to root if none is
given.

That's what was intended, although just typing "su" has the same effect.

So far, so good. :-)

Although the source code lives in the "cmdline" directory in the package,
it is compiled into the command "hpo", which you tried next...

The problem is that the binaries are installed in /usr/local/bin, which
isn't in your PATH. Try logging in as a normal user, not root. I think
by default RedHat doesn't put /usr/local/bin in the PATH when you log in
as root. You could also just try specifying the full path. For example,
instead of "hpo devid", try typing "/usr/local/bin/hpo devid".
