I'd be careful with chattr. It's easily set and works fine - sure. But it's 
also easily forgotten that you used chattr on that file. And sometime down the 
road you (or someone else) pull your hair out because you can't figure out why 
even root cannot change that file anymore. ;o)

Actually you could simply delete /etc/cron.hourly/log_traffic and your custom 
firewall rules won't get overwritten. That's the only thing on BlueOnyx which 
ever messes with your firewall rules.
