Thanks for the answer, i think you speak about the adduser command line
because with system-config-users it's not possible but it's easier to
create a lot of users with the command line!
About the menu, i just want to manage it "better" with more specific
sections : maths, physics, ... and put the system for teachers and not
for students...
