I'm fine with the changes, though there are a couple things; see inline.

There are some whitespace errors here and later in the patch.

The ordering in this file is messed up, so please don't follow it.  Please collect all the interfaces your adding, and put the auth interfaces first, and then non_auth interfaces.  Put all this after the interfaces that use the file_type attribute.  In my checkout, thats line 1277 (above config file interfaces).

The verb should be list, not read.

There needs to be some work in the authlogin.if.  The interfaces that you're swapping in latter patches need to be deprecated (including auth_file()).  Additionally, all the currently existing authlogin deprecated interfaces point to the interfaces you're deprecated (eg auth_read_all_files_except_shadow), so they need to be updated too.

The interfaces in files don't need to be deprecated now, though I may do it in the future.
