>Environment:
custom environment : recompiled from /src, only some parts of NetBSD are used (TCP/IP stack and some parts of the kernel)
>Description:
in sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.c,v 1.152 l. 1596,
function 'strncasecmp' is called with its second arg being of type 'u_int8_t' (equivalent to unsigned char) instead of 'const char *'. Metrowerks compiler refuse to compile it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this file with some type checking activated.
>Fix:
A cast should be added on the second arg, maybe like that :
strncasecmp("persist", (char *)nwkey.i_key[0].i_keydat, 7)
