[Scott Emmons]

It looks like this change was a result of Debian bug 792535 [1], which
switched the implementation from Crypt::OpenSSL::Random to
Bytes::Random::Secure [2].

[Bug 1573974] Re: makepasswd hangs

[Jo Liss]

The "hanging" behavior seems to be happening because makepasswd reads
from /dev/random. A workaround is to mash keys or move the mouse to
generate entropy. This only works if you have physical access to the
machine. It doesn't work if you're logged in via SSH.

The man page for makepasswd advertises that makepasswd uses
/dev/urandom. I believe/assume that this was the behavior in 14.04,
since I've only had this problem in 16.04. I'd like to suggest changing
it back to /dev/urandom.
