m0n0wall doesn't include all the libraries a stock FreeBSD system
does.  Any that are required and aren't there will need to be manually
added to your image.  To find out what a specific binary needs, run
ldd on it.  Like:


-bash-2.05b$ ldd /usr/local/sbin/nmbd
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd:
        libcups.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x280d7000)
        libssl.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x280f3000)
        libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x281b9000)
        libpam.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpam.so.1 (0x282a8000)
        libpopt.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x282b2000)
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x282b9000)
        libintl.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 (0x28352000)
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x2835b000)


If you don't care about image size, you could throw in /usr/lib/* and
/usr/local/lib/* as well as probably some other lib dir's I'm not
thinking of off hand.

We could argue all day whether or not that's a good thing to run on a
firewall.  I won't go there.  :)
