  Description
  
  related: https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/3052
	macpas suggest to solve this via extending the permissions on the socket 
from rw-r-----  
to   rw-rw---- .
	I think the nicer way to solve the problem is by setting the socket owner to the new user before we drop priviledges

Closing. Looks like this was fixed in 2017 (commit: babe8a299e?). Anyways, it has not been an issue since at least 6.0.
