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.

real 2m52.938s
user 0m1.858s
sys 0m4.608s
mkpasswd returned: 1
