I am using FC2 and my /sbin/nash is not a link to /sbin/nash-i386.
    Where did you get your nash program? Do a rpm -q nash.

Sorry cannot help, but if you search something in the rpm database I'd 
always use

rpm -qa | grep -i whateveryouwanttofind

This takes longer, since rpm -qa lists all installed packages, but 
you'll find, what you are looking for.

Try:
rpm -qf `which nash`
