Installing Ident on all clients takes time so i want to find an other solution. I search about using NTLM authentication because the majority of client runs Windows so there is nothing to install for NTLM.

There are other solutions, but Samba is highly recommended.

Does it? I don't know about Windows identd implementations, but on Unix
identd usually returns the name of an user owning the TCP socket (unless
otherwise configured)
