Default Cannot install vmware-tools in OpenSolaris 2009.06

I downloaded OpenSolaris 2009.06 image for Vmware from Vmplanet, then boot this pre-installed image in VmWare Workstation 7.0.0 under WinXP host OS.

I mounted and extract the VmWare Tools into directory /tmp
Fine so far.

Then I switched to /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib and tried to install the guestOS VmWare Tools with the command:

sudo ./vmware-tools.pl

The script prompts me for a password but

vmplanet.net

was not accepted. Instead the script tolds me

vmplanet is not in the sudors file. This incident will be reported.
What's wrong?
How else can I install vmware-tools.pl?
