If you got two messages from me today then we will know that both
leaving a message at normal logoff works, and leaving a message at
forced logoff following password failure also works. I couldn't test
YELL because YELL is turned off - shouldn't that provide for leaving a
message in that circumstance too?

The message...

... appears after a normal logoff.

After a forced password-fail logoff (with message), it does not - all
you get is...
