What do the Cygwin passwd file entry sections mean?

[scotch123]

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.

Thanks,
Scotch
