no global fivestar settings page. To activate fivestar, you must go to admin/content/types/ and enable it per content type. This must be documented!

Feature request: add such a page with global defaults for all content types.

I've created an INSTALL.txt file that documents the enable-per-content-type requirement PLUS the anonymous voting feature (must be enabled in role permissions). If permissions aren't set for anonymous voting, the stars still show, users can set the stars to red with a click... just no votes (by anonymous users) ever record or register. It appears broken rather than disallowed.

This INSTALL.txt file will help, though it may not be the entire solution.

I also submitted a patch that hides the stars/rating interface for anonymous users that don't have "view ratings" permissions. See http://drupal.org/node/144942

That will help... I see the structure for allowing "view ratings" to operate differently than "rate content" is in place, but the Javascript doesn't yet support the two differently. Adding that will be even better.

I agree, this very much needs to be in the documentation

Thanks katin! I've included your instructions (slightly expanded) in the README.txt file. Thanks for your contribution!
