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.

  If someone points me at the source for the documentation, I'd be happy to
submit patches.  I think there are some other subtle inaccuracies as well,
like requiring the -cell argument to the bos command, when using -noauth.
Unless I'm just wrong on that last point :-P

At the AFS meeting in Pilsen, there was discussion in the hallway
track that -noauth is really no longer necessary, because you can
now run pts -localauth flag.  I haven't tried it yet myself but
that seems preferable.

That would be awesome, thanks!
