Dear Maintainer, I installed libpam-geoip and use it with the GeoIp databases from the package geoip-database. This results in a nasty error message written to stdout: Invalid database type GeoIP Country Edition, expected GeoIP City Edition, Rev 1 It comes from libgeoip: https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/blob/master/libGeoIP/GeoIPCity.c#L190 This breaks Git over SSH: $ git push fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: Inva This seems to be a known issue but geoip-api-c is in maintainance mode and superseded by libmaxminddb. https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/issues/67 There is a port of pam-geoip to the libmaxminddb API which should be a drop-in-replacement: https://github.com/amishmm/pam_geoip Would you consider switching to this new port which uses a library that does not write arbitrary messages to stdout?
