[Pan-users] tip: getting pan to run off another location other than /home

[Pedro]

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.
