Depending on your version of Gnus you may have auth-source.el
available. See if (info "auth") works; if it does you can follow those
instructions to get started.
Using `auth-sources' is much better than backend-specific variables like
`nntp-authinfo-file' because the same authinfo file will work for nntp,
nnimap, Tramp, and so on (most of Gnus and Emacs).
