You typically don't logswitch a firewall module, but it should work when you
do it. One time, I traced this down to FireWall-1 not believing the request
came from localhost. Sometimes you have to add the following line to the top
of $FWDIR/conf/control.map:

127.0.0.1: */none

You can also try to add all the IP addresses of the firewall module.

You can also issue the command from an NT management console to perform the
logswitch on the IP440s:

fw logswitch -h firewall
