CheckPoint Firewall-1 (at least up to version 4.0) has similar behavior.
Firewall-1 uses port 259 for client authentication.

If a valid username and invalid password is used:

User: validuser
FireWall-1 password: ******
Access denied by FireWall-1 authentication

User:
###################################

And if an invalid username is used:

User: invaliduser
User someuser not found

User:
###################################

I'm not sure about 4.1, but from the work that I've done with it, I'd
imagine that it behaves the same.
