I'll put myself on the spot and promise to submit a patch that at least
updates the sections of the Quick Start Guide that I have worked through.
There's far too much use of -noauth, and needless use of -cell all over the
place in these instructions. Once you have "secured your cell", the very
next thing you should do is remove the NoAuth file, and switch from using
-noauth to -localauth.
I think the overuse of -cell is particulary bad, because in almost all
cases, it's meaningless when using -noauth. There are only a few steps
where the cell argument is really needed.
I won't be able to review the entire document (there's numerous sections I'm
skipping) but I will at least take a shot at rationalizing the CLI argument
usage as much as possible.
