[Discuss] make tcp options stick

[Rajiv Khaneja]

Well there are a few ways... the simplest being to make a boot up script
that automatically runs on boot (hence the name boot up script) and applies
your config options.   Often times people will combine this with their
firewall script or such.

Cheers,
Rajiv
