It is asking for the password of the first user that you created, which is able to become root user under ubuntu.

It's not asking for the root password, but for the password of the user that is running sudo.

Following the thread, http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_c entos

"Next we switch to this user

su vmail
sudo yum install libtool postgresql-devel gdbm-devel pam-devel expect openldap-devel"

Why does it need to sudo yum? yum is not a user in my CentOS at all.

yum is not a user, but a command. Please see man sudo
