  The ability to modify fintimeout (executor level) and
  stickymask (port level) does not exist using dscontrol or
  lbadmin.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added command support for fintimeout and stickymask.
  
  NOTE-The executor level fintimeout setting affects all ports
  added after the setting is modified. Modifying the fintimeout
  value on the executor settings does not affect the fintimeout
  value for existing ports.

     9.0.5.4
