X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3a7d9fb124fc59a2a1d51d68ceb834ced5a525fa;p=thirdparty%2Fpdns.git

auth: fix geoip_mmdb backend MMDB_open error handling

According to [MMDB_open docs], errors from `MMDB_open` should be
compared to `MMDB_SUCCESS` (which is 0). All other errors are > 0, which
means that existing check never detects errors, causing further queries
to fail with error:
```
The MaxMind DB file is in a format this library can't handle
(unknown record size or binary format version)
```
