Hello

I use freeradius to authenticate Chillispot users using an Openldap backend , everything works like a charm :-)

Another (friendly) site has quite the same configuration they do use freeradius too to authenticate their wi-fi users.

Both sites have a permanent Internet access.

Now is it possible for "my" daemon to "communicate" with another freeradius daemon which is running in another distant site to let all of our users ( my site + distant site ) authenticate transparently with their own site logins/passwds on the two sites ?

Yes, this is possible with "proxy" authentication. You allocate a 'realm' to each site (ie. 'franksite'), and users (typically) append the realm to their username in the format <username>@<realm> (ie. 'frank@franksite'). Take a look at proxy.conf, and google for "freeradius proxy". josh.
