Actually, the database included appears to be from September 2005: $ geoiplookup -v GEO-106FREE 20050901 Build 1 Copyright (c) 2005 MaxMind LLC All Rights Reserved Any particular reason why you didn't include the latest database, from <http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country>? $ cd /usr/share/GeoIP $ wget http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIP.dat.gz $ mv GeoIP.dat GeoIP.dat.OLD $ gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz $ geoiplookup -v GEO-106FREE 20060201 Build 1 Copyright (c) 2006 MaxMind LLC All Rights Reserved Wouldn't it be a good idea to package the data file separately from the tools, perhaps? This would allow for (monthly, ideally) updates of the data file without having to reinstall the tools. Also, the man page lists a non-existing "-l" flag. Finally, any particular reason why GeoIP.dat has executable permissions?
