I confirm. That Squid module is very old and is part of the "old generation" of Example42 Puppet modules, it was done before the release of Puppet 2.6 and doesn't support parameters (that's why you see errors when trying to pass parameters to it). As author of the Example42 module I suggest to use only new (NextGen) modules. They are ther ones you see as git submodules in https://github.com/example42/puppet-modules (which still contains both new and old modules). Fo next gen only modules you can refer to: https://github.com/example42/puppet-modules
For questions specific to Example42 modules (and some documentation) you can use also this newly born Google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/example42-puppet-modules Al On Monday, May 13, 2013 11:39:44 PM UTC+2, Ashley Penney wrote: > > On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 5:21 PM, Jim Miller <stl...@gmail.com<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> I am using example42s squid module >> https://github.com/example42/puppet-modules/tree/master/squid, and >> trying to define certain user variable at the puppet/manifest/nodes.pp >> level This is the first module of their's I've tried, I've read over >> their documentation and FAQ and for the life of me I can not figure this >> out.
