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?
