Wouldn't a good enough solution be to make nn{tp,imap}-authinfo-file
be a server parameter? That way the machine name in the file doesn't
need to be relevant (since you have a different file for each one) and
no information other than username and login need be used. In fact I
thought it already worked that way, at least for nntp. I seem to
recall doing something like that when I was setting up a couple
servers that used port forwards over ssh to my 2 nntp servers (and
thus both were connected to "localhost"). I'll have to check my home
machine tonight to verify my memory :-)
