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.
