You can use EPA, which comes with the CVS version of Emacs and can be
downloaded otherwise, to automatically encrypt certain files so on disk
they are encrypted, but to Emacs they will open as regular text files
and thus can be used for authinfo.
That's what I do with my authinfo.gpg file.
I'm not sure what customization issue you're reporting. What is
happening, and what is the problem?
