That looks like the ipfwadm from Slackward 7.1

That's the message you get when the executable depends 
on a missing library.  Packages from Slackware 7.1 use 
glibc2.  BL3 does not have that library -- it has libc5 
(the same library as Slackware 3 and 4).

BL1:  Slackware 3.5 kernels/modules   Slackware 3.5 packages
BL2:  Slackware 7.1 kernels/modules   Slackware 7.1 packages
BL3   Slackware 7.1 kernels/modules   Slackware 4.0 packages

With BL3 I went back to the old libraries (libc5) because 
they are significantly smaller/faster.  Slackware 4.0 was
the last Slackware to use libc5.  The next Slackware (7.0)
used glibc2.

Cheers,
Steven
