I checked the manual about that - I read there, that the firewall module
itself (without a local management server) is capable of logging itself. 
Is this correct? In other parts of the manual, I deduced that the management
servers are supposed to do the logging, so I'm a bit confused.

Is this correct: If I don't edit "loggers" on the module, the module logs 
to the management server. If I put localhost in the loggers file, it logs
local.

And if the module itself could do the logging:
How does the module know that is supposed to send its logs to the mangement
server when I start "fw logswitch"? Is this the default behaviour? The only
option I see is to edit the loggers-conffile, but that would cause online
logging.
