I renamed the files from "huntgroups" to "huntgroups.off", and the same for hints.  I then edited "module/preprocess" to take out references to these two files.  However, when I start up radiusd, it appears that it's STILL looking for the files.  I've gone so far as doing a "grep -ir huntgroup *", and every line it comes back with is commented out.  Here's the debug and my modules/preprocess file:

These defaults are compiled into the module:

static const CONF_PARSER module_config[] = {
         { "huntgroups",                 PW_TYPE_FILENAME,
           offsetof(rlm_preprocess_t,huntgroup_file), NULL,
           "${raddbdir}/huntgroups" },

By commenting out the entry, the defaults are used. If you want the 
module to not process the files, either:

  1. set the filenames to "" i.e. empty string
  2. empty the files (better)
