            Bug ID: 193471
           Summary: Mismatched variable type in md5(1) from getopt
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: webpages@sprow.co.uk

The optarg from getopt(3) is defined as a char *, but md5 variable
'checkAgainst' is an unsigned type which leads to a warning on assignment and
later calls to strcmp (et al) when using a strict type check compiler.

Also, the variables may as well be static scope, as per the following patch
against SVN revision 238964 of /sbin/md5/md5.c
