See
Code:
man passwd

I suppose it may depends from the distrib but it should be more or less something like (Ubuntu here)


f1 : name of the account
f2 : account is locked (L)
account has a usable passwd (P)
account has no password (NP)
f3 : date of last passwd modification
f4: minimum duration before modification
f5: maximum duration of validity
f6: duration of warning
f7: autorized duration of inactivity (-1 = endless)
(all duration are in days)
