For us, "mkpasswd -d" dumps ~1500-2000 users and then 
errs out.  Our domain is hugh.  My work around is to build /etc/passwd
with a script that repeatedly calls "mkpasswd -d -u USERNAMEHERE" (
for the subset of users I need).

Here's what happens:

  ~ $ time mkpasswd -d |wc -l ; echo mkpasswd returned: ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
  mkpasswd (249): [5] Access is denied.
  1415

  user    0m1.858s
  sys     0m4.608s
  mkpasswd returned: 1
