The suricata user was originally created with `/opt/so/conf/suricata` as its home directory. I think at some point we changed permissions on `/opt/so/conf` and at that point the `surilogcompress` cron job stopped working. Changing the home directory to `/nsm/suricata` works on all of my PROD systems (including Ubuntu and CentOS).
