Freeradius-Users Digest, Vol 46, Issue 102 Why is groupname fieldblank in radacct

[tnt at kalik.net]

Default queries that come with the source don't write to groupname
field. MySQL or PostgreSQL. You can place Class in radgroupreply and
give it the value of the group name. Then put %{Class} into groupname
field in accounting queries.
