  I don't suppose you've actually allowed it to run forever yet, so "never"

  It's a known problem with both mkpasswd and mkgroup that they can take a
long time to run.  If you really want to be sure whether it's doing anything
or not, you could always try

mkpasswd -d | tee /etc/passwd

instead, and see if lines are being generated, however slowly.
