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.
