Ah, silly me. Thanks Cliff. In my defence, I searched for authinfo2 (in the 
search sidebar on the docs home page) and if one does that, the page you 
referenced does not show in the search results.

So, I guess now my suggestion is to update the references to authinfo file 
to authinfo2 file, since that is the current correct name for the file. ;-)
