Sorry, but no there is no such field type in the ident protocol.

OTHER is a operating system type and indicates that the username which
follows is not structured according to any standard operating system
rules, and probably not meant to be human readable.

There can only be one username in the same ident reply.

In all operating system types you are allowed to return pretty much
anything as username, but if the operating system type is anything else
than OTHER then the returned username SHOULD follow the rules of that
operating system.

It is perfectly fine if you set your ident server to return the hostname
as userid, if this is what you wishes to make your users identify
themselves as to the network (using ident).

Squid will use whatever is sent as user ident in the reply, ignoring the
opsys field.
