Description:
GeoIP.conf file contains confidential license key (can be free / can be paid - $1200 per year!).

Hence the file should not be world readable by default. Otherwise admin oversight can lead to expensive license key getting leaked to all users having access to the system.

Please change it to 0600 by default instead of 0644.

Thank you
