Description

When using suricata packages on CentOS 7 from EPEL, the following error is seen in the suricata.log file:

    Unix socket: UNIX socket bind(/var/run/suricata/suricata-command.socket) error: Permission denied
    Unable to create unix command socket

On this platform suricata is run as user 'suricata', but /run/suricata has ownership root:root, so it cannot create the socket file. This is set in '/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/suricata.conf'.
