Slackware

Part of the SSH-based OS identification family — see that page for the shared mechanism, credentials, and host key verification. Matches /etc/os-release’s ID field.

targets:
  - id: slackware-host
    product: slackware
    address: host.example.com
    credentials: linux-host-ssh

Verified live against vbatts/slackware:14.2: ID=slackware, VERSION_ID=14.2 — Slackware does ship /etc/os-release, despite older documentation claiming it doesn’t.
