Do I understand right that this equivalent to AT+CPIN ?
If yes, it is very useful function.

No, this is not how smsd is used.

All these are fine. Keep on mind that smsd can use more modems at the same
time. So configuration must distinguish between modems. Therefore I see hard
to implenent it as invocation argument. Using file for file module is the
only way and db modules can use both, the file or db (in configuration table
I want to introduce).

Do you have any documentation of this new function or I should learn it from
source? I will take care about it.
