-------------------------------------------------

```Two free functions exist for creating encoded authentication files.
irods.client_init.write_native_credentials_to_secrets_file
irods.client_init.write_pam_credentials_to_secrets_file
irods.client_init.write_native_credentials_to_secrets_file
irods.client_init.write_pam_credentials_to_secrets_file
```

Each takes a cleartext password and creates an appropriately encoded version of it
as an .irodsA file in the login environment, if none is pre-existing.
Each takes a cleartext password and writes an appropriately processed version of it
to an .irodsA (secrets) file in the login environment.

Note, in the `pam_password` case, this involves sending the cleartext password
to the server (so SSL should be enabled!) and then writing the scrambled token that
returns from the transaction.

If an .irodsA file exists already, it will be overwritten.
