Am I correct in my assumption that `nntp-send-authinfo-from-file' only
allows you to specify a password in ~/.nntp-authinfo and not a
username as well? The manual makes it sound that way.
`nntp-send-authinfo-from-file'
This function will use your current login name as the user
name and will read the NNTP password from `~/.nntp-authinfo'.
If so, maybe this functionality could be added to Gnus? Below is one
method to do this, and it does work..

I use the following.. in .nntp-authinfo, put the username on the
first line and the password on the second.
(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook
(lambda ()
(cond ((string-match "something.com" nntp-address)
(nntp-send-nosy-authinfo-from-file))
(t
))))
(defun nntp-send-nosy-authinfo-from-file ()
"Send the AUTHINFO to the nntp server, including username and password
This function is supposed to be called from `nntp-server-opened-hook'."
(when (file-exists-p "~/.nntp-authinfo")
(nnheader-temp-write nil
(insert-file-contents "~/.nntp-authinfo")
(goto-char (point-min))
(nntp-send-command
"^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO USER"
(buffer-substring (point) (progn (end-of-line) (point))))
(goto-line 2)
(nntp-send-command
"^.*\r?\n" "AUTHINFO PASS"
(buffer-substring (point) (progn (end-of-line) (point)))))))

Yes, that's right.
A function like the one you included will probably be included with
Quassia Gnus.
