On startup both times, Pan acted as if it were a new install. Entries

edited servers.xml were removed.
It would seem that somewhere Pan is not respecting *nix file ownership
settings
and permissions at least when it comes to servers.xml.
servers.xml is in .pan2. So as long as you have write access to .pan2
(which would normally be the case), pan could, if it wanted to, delete
servers.xml, no matter what its ownership/permissions might be, and
re-create it. I do not know that pan does this nor why it would want to;
I'm just saying that nothing would prevent it from doing that. Deleting
a file requires only write-access to the directory containing it.
