for linux users, particularly as the headers are getting into the
gigabytes for servers with long retentions..
pan by default installs to /home/<username>/.pan2
but with this symlink command you can make any other location be that .pan2
ln -s <newlocation> <oldlocationtosubstitute>
eg
ln -s <newlocation>/.pan /home/<username/.pan2
you might have to do a chown -R <username> <newlocation> for the
newlocation if you dont have permissions there.
that won''t survive a reboot, so put that into startup applications too
if you want to.
also if you want to install pan in a location that is encapsulated with
veracrypt, or the old (disadvised) truecrypt you can use the symlink to
that location and have it all encrypted.
things in <> are your options to put in. location is a folder.
