Thanks to both answers, I read in /var/log/freeradius/radius.log, the lines:

(65) Received Accounting-Request Id 153 from 192.168.1.153:34306 to
192.168.1.243:1813 length 169
(65)   Acct-Session-Id = "0000000E-00000009"
(65)   Acct-Status-Type = Start
(65)   Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
(65)   User-Name = "999_0001"
(65)   NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.1.153
(65)   Framed-IP-Address = 10.201.2.11
(65)   NAS-Identifier = "0418d6c093bf"
(65)   NAS-Port = 0
(65)   Called-Station-Id = "04-18-D6-C2-93-BF:Foobar"
(65)   Calling-Station-Id = "48-5A-B6-04-C2-BF"

(65)           &Acct-Unique-Session-Id := 8ff563640edb7a60c06bc5e9d4c70aa5
(65) # Executing section accounting from file

(65) Sent Accounting-Response Id 153 from 192.168.1.243:1813 to
192.168.1.153:34306 length 0


Then I checked /etc/freeradius/3.0/sites-enabled/default content to learn that
its radutmp line was commented out (Debian's default, it seems).
I un-commented it, restarted and I got my first live entry in radwho !

For reference, here are some file permissions:

# ls -al /var/log/freeradius/
total 188
drwxr-xr-x  3 freerad adm       4096 sept. 14 14:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root    root      4096 sept. 14 13:37 ..
drwx------  6 freerad freerad   4096 sept. 14 11:30 radacct

-rw-r--r--  1 freerad adm       9216 sept. 14 14:03 radwtmp


Also, data from/var/log/syslog:

Sep 14 13:20:32 foobar freeradius[6812]:   # Loading module "radutmp" from

Thank you very much for helping
