[BlueOnyx:22100] What can I do to keep my iptables configuration from being wiped out

[Jim Scott]

Not sure if something changed but finding my iptables that I thought was in 
place is getting wiped out and replaced with default entries. I found a few 
threads and though I could create /etc/apf to prevent it from happening but 
instead that then clears out iptables  entirely. I could it looks like 
remove /etc/cron.hourly/log_traffic it looks like to keep it from happening 
but wondering if I am missing something?

I customize my iptables. Run service iptables save which updated my iptables 
file. Reboot and it is cleared.
