Samba collects sockets in /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock

[maxxim]

I recently noticed that /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock on my systems contains ~1600 sockets, dating back to the initial installation of the system.

That can't be right. Is this a configuration issue?

All I could find on the topic is this bug, which claims this was a known issue that has been fixed in Samba 4.10.13+. However, I am running Samba 4.15.7, so that doesn't make any sense.

Is there someone who could shed some light on this?

You are right.
You can safely delete them.
At least I did after renaming their directory and not noticing any problem.
I noticed in my case it creates 6 sockets @startup.
