Description Lisette Scheer 2018-02-23 21:19:22 UTC 
When the catalog blocks checkouts if the patron has overdue items, the message is: 

Library server message - Greetings from Koha.

For other blocks, Koha generates a more helpful message:

Fines over $5 generates the following message:
Library server message - Greetings from Koha. -- Patron owes 5.01

Expired patron:
Library server message - Greetings from Koha. PATRON EXPIRED

Invalid Password
Library server message - Greetings from Koha. -- Invalid password

It would be great if this could be a more consistent and helpful message for patrons.

I believe since bug 24449, the message "Greetings from Koha. Patron has overdues" is shown if patron has overdues.
Are you able to confirm? If so, we can likely mark this as RESOLVED INVALID.

Agreed, nice spot Pedro
