This is because this is a "old style" module at this point and is just setting variables directly in params.pp. You would be best off looking for a better squid module while you get up to speed on Puppet. The best I could find for you is https://github.com/dezwart/puppet-squid currently, if you look in the init.pp in there as a counter example to the example42 one you'll quickly see how the parameters belong directly to the class. In this case he doesn't have squid_port as a parameter, so it won't be usable without modifications for you, but it's a better example of the kind of structure a squid module should contain. If this is all horrible for you and you're not able to make any headway let me know and I can give you some help to modify one of these modules to make the port a parameter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
