Hello,

My apologies for the newbie question.

I've been looking for an explanation of what each section of a Cygwin
/etc/passwd/ user entry means, specifically the segments between the user
name and the home directory and bash shell:

corinna:unused:11001:11125:U-BAR\corinna,S-1-5-21-2913048732-1697188782-3448811101-1001:/home/corinna:/bin/tcsh

I can't seem to find what the three things in the middle are.

I want to write up a how-to for a co-worker that explains what each segment
is before explaining how to change a user's home directory path from the
Unix default to the Windows/Cygwin notation that goes to their webroot
folder so they can use SFTP.

If someone could explain, or direct me to an explanation, I'd be grateful.

Wrong list. This is not a Cygwin-X question. Please send requests about
Cygwin to the main list. Only questions, issues, or comments regarding
Cygwin-X should go to this list.

To answer your question, the main information for this you can get from
Linux/UNIX sources: .

The Cygwin-specific parts you can get from the Users Guide:

You should read the user guide:

http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting-startx

Also, have you tried clicking the shortcut from the start menu to
start X windows? (Hint: the shortcut doesn't use startx.bat).
