Hi Pete,
It is certainly possible to reuse the version of FreeRADIUS coming with
PacketFence for other RADIUS needs.
You will need some knowledge of the way FreeRADIUS is configured though.
The difference between a default FreeRADIUS server and PacketFence is that PF's
default FreeRADIUS config is set to send the requests to a custom module in the
post-auth step.
There is nothing preventing you from configuring an additional virtual server
that would authenticate requests differently.
That's one way to do it, but not the only one.
It all depends on how confident you are at modifying the FreeRADIUS
configuration.
There is no magic there but you may be in for reading the fine manual.
Regards,
