  This happens in one of two cases:

1) the server is reading a *different* file than the one you're editing

2) there are *two* "accounting" sections, and the server is using the
first rather than the second.

  Then either it isn't receiving accounting packets, *or* it's not using
the sql configuration you think it's using.

$ cd /etc/raddb/sites-enabled
$ grep sql *

  And un-comment the lines that look like:

default:#	sql

  This is the default config, and it does work.
