[Info-vax] Silly with VMS access via SSH

Just a silly that I have ignored for years. It was the same with the 
setup for work, and is still present with 9.2-1, and now bugs me!

I have both sys$announce and sys$welcome logicals defined:

$ sho lo sys$announce, sys$welcome
    "SYS$ANNOUNCE" = "@SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

    "SYS$WELCOME" = "@SYS$MANAGER:WELCOME.TXT" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

Both files exist, but when I login using SSH, I get the welcome.txt 
displayed when I login, but before I do, I get:

Using username "townleyc".
Pre-authentication banner message from server:
|
| @SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT
End of banner message from server
Authenticating with public key "XXXXXXXXX at XXXXXX"

followed by the text in welcome.txt

If I set host from another node, or with set host 0 both are displayed 
as usual

Both files exist, and have w:re protection

How can I get SSH to display ANNOUNCE.TXT ?
