  What's "identity" ?

  I *always* get worried when people do things which aren't necessary.
It means that they haven't followed the existing documentation, or
understood it.  It means that they're likely making random changes
without a clear understanding as to what's going on.

  OK... radrelay is supposed to proxy the packets.

  Uh... the configuration you showed above is for radrelay.  You did
*not* tell the main radius server to use the "radrelay-detail" module.

  Edit raddb/sites-available/default.  Look for "accounting".  In it,
look for "detail".  Replace that with "radrelay-detail".

  Once again, radrelay *reads* the detail file.

  Your comment above is that the server doesn't *write* the detail file.

  Send accounting packets to the main FreeRADIUS server.  It should
write them to the detail file.  radrelay will read them from the detail
file.

  I really don't know how to make that any simpler.  I've said it a
number of times.  You need to read the previous paragraph until you
understand it.

  The server is doing exactly what you told it to do, and exactly what I
said it would do.
