Preventing WHM From altering IPTables

I am implementing my own firewall rules. However, cPanel/WHM keeps adding the default "acctboth" chains and rules. In addition to this, rebooting the server clears *ALL* rules, in which cPanel/WHM re-adds theirs. It seems my rules have been completely wiped from the configuration for whatever reason. How do I stop cPanel/WHM from: * Adding it's own rules * Flushing iptables on boot and re-adding it's own rules. Yes, I saved my rules (# iptables-save;service iptables save).

  cat /etc/redhat-release
