The file has one line per username, and is divided into seven colon-delimited fields:
1. Username.
2. Password, in an encrypted form.
3. Numeric user id.
4. Numeric group id.
5. Full name or other description of account. This is called gecos.
6. The user's home directory.
7. The user's login shell (program to run at login).
