Looking at package 1.0-5 on Quantal, the behaviour seems to be following the man page (which still suggestes nullidentd [uid]):
dg@major:~/Documents$ /usr/sbin/nullidentd
: USERID : UNIX : foobar
: USERID : UNIX : foobar
: USERID : UNIX : foobar
dg@major:~/Documents$ /usr/sbin/nullidentd penguins
: USERID : UNIX : penguins
: USERID : UNIX : penguins
dg@major:~/Documents$ /usr/sbin/nullidentd RANDOM
: USERID : UNIX : 5l2bB726
: USERID : UNIX : 3o4K826r
(and RANDOM is now documented)
I can't see from the changelog where/if that changed, but it looks like
it's correct now.
So, closing as 'Fix Released'; (It seems unlikely such a change would
backport to whatever version you first reported it on)
** Changed in: nullidentd (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released
