Hi Denis,

thanks for submitting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The
manpages seem to not exist upstream, so ideally upstream would address
the issue. Can you bring this up on the freeradius mailing lists, at

http://wiki.freeradius.org/Mailing_list?

Changed in freeradius (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Confirmed
importance:	Undecided → Low

I'm doing it right now, I'm sorry for having reported this bug without
checking if the manpage existed in the original source package - it was
indexed in the main manpage so I thougt it was a distribution fault.

In freeradius v4.0.x branch, hints and huntgroups were removed altogether:
