I don't suppose you've actually allowed it to run forever yet, so "never"
completes is too strong....

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.
