I think you want to get rid of that "-a valid".
changing -a valid to -a none works indeed, login is used as a fall-back.
I found this:

did something change in our telnetd?
"-a valid" is not supposed to fall back. Otherwise its usefulness is
reduced.
You are right. And I checked on an old 2.x machine and the flag wasn't
there at all.. this explpains a couple of things then. I was logging in
from windows with the standard client and PUTTY (but without configuring
the username).
