Dear Justin, Thanks for the input. Issue was localized only to interactive bash and only to the particular user. It was an environment problem.
The particular user uses a fancy dynamic PS1 prompt (bash), which changes the exit code according to the last action it takes.

Dear Justin, Looks like you hit the nail on the head. Seems to be a problem with the shell. I could swear that yesterday it worked, but today it seems that all exit codes are gone: nikos="5" [ "$nikos" == 4 ] echo $? 0 Uptime is 239 days. I probably should check with the bash people what could cause this. Many thanks, Nikos Balkanas Billing and Provisioning Services/IT Tel.+302106703982 Vodafone Panafon S.A.

Honestly, not sure.. Do other programs have the same behvavior or is it just lftp? A very strange problem.
