No Volker,

this is not my normal way to operate samba. This was only a test case 
for a better demonstration here for my question after I saw, that in my 
tests with tdbbackup in the samba init script and frequent restart 
sockets were not cleaned up.

Is it safe to clean up /etc/msg.sock/ and /run/lock/samba/msg.lock/ on 
samba start?
