Description
I am currently packaging and making a nixos module for the smp-server and xftp-server and everything is going well so far, but I noticed that the server can only use a password hard coded into the config file. Could you provide an option to use a password from a file on the system as well? This would make it very easy to integrate with current secret mechanics for nix.

Research direction
Start by locating the password configuration handling for smp-server and xftp-server and read how those services load their config. Check whether existing configuration or secret-loading tests cover password values. Done means both servers can accept a password from a system file, while preserving the existing hard-coded configuration option for Nix secret integration.
