You set the timers on your side and the two sides negotiate then select the lowest timer settings.  The BGP session 
automatically hard resets on some equipment when changing the timers, so be aware of that.

Hold timers are negotiated in the OPEN message, I seem to remember, so
surely you *have* to hard reset the connection to get the lower
holdtime?
