I actually figured this out as soon as I sent the question out.  I used
/dev/urandom.  This question was only to create a garbage file.  I really
did not care how random it was.  I am using FreeBSD and for some reason
/dev/random did not work.

Thanks for the responses.

I want to create a random file of 5MB.  How do I do that?
