How can that be?

> /bin/false

> /bin/busybox

> root at luxusAsus:~ ls -la /bin/false
> lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             7 Aug 29 16:06 /bin/false -> busybox

Ok!

> root at luxusAsus:~ false --help
> root at luxusAsus:~ echo $?
> 1

> root at luxusAsus:~ /bin/busybox false --help
> BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-08-29 10:01:39 EDT) multi-call binary.

How can that be, if both false are Busybox?

Please try:

/bin/false --help; echo $?

Also you may have a look at your aliases?
