I agree, but what command?  I thought I could write a suitable program more
quickly than I might find one, and wished to illustrate an appropriate use of
/dev/urandom.

Perhaps a reader will suggest a good command for this purpose, something like a
feature in palimpsest (or some other application already packaged for Fedora)
that efficiently performs this function.

The Security Guide should be changed.  That is the purpose of this report. 
Until a good idea is developed for what the Security Guide ought to say, my
attachment may help users understand and avoid the days or weeks the current
instructions may require to complete.
