Ryan Bowman failed to recover from illness and was unable to take part for Hereford on their first visit to Kenilworth Road for almost 37 years.
Injured Marley Watkins also failed to make the trip which saw United revert to a 4-3-1-2 formation with Sam Clucas in the hole behind strike pairing Marlon Jackson and Chris Sharp.
Joe Connor reverted to right-back with Chris Carruthers getting his first start in five months in a midfield role.
Former Bulls Janos Kovacs, who was injured, and Stuart Fleetwood, who was not, failed even to make the bench for the home side.
Luton made the early running and a shot from Alex Lawless flashed across goal and out for a corner.
Lawless took the kick but James Bittner made a good catch.
Hereford hit back and a deflected cross from Clucas almost fell to Jackson.
Caruthers was then brought down on the edge of the area and Jackson’s free-kick deflected behind for a corner.
From Clucas’ cross, Stefan Stam saw a  header cleared off the line.
Another glorious chance went begging on nine minutes when Clucas got around the back of the home defence and Josh O’Keefe’s shot, heading for a seemingly empty net, was deflected out for a corner off a defender.
Sharp tried his luck after good work by Jackson but his shot was weak and easily fielded by goalkeeper Mark Tyler.
Sharp blazed high over again on 14 minutes after good work by O’Keefe and Clucas.
