It is. It's a simple perl script with +x. I can exec it from the comande
line like

/usr/local/bin/addworkstation.pl foo$

which creates the machin account like it should. I've also tested caling it
with the interpreter

add machine script = /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/addworkstation.pl %u

with no difference

I'd prefer keeping the version provided with the distro, but I'll check
if there's some trustworthy PPA to get something a bit newer.

The strange thing, is that the script is not even called at all.
