NAME

       rinputd - Remote Input Server Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rinputd [ --realm realm ] [ --cert cert ] [ --key key ] [ --port port ]
       [ --no-broadcast ] [ --verbose | --quiet ]

DESCRIPTION

       rinputd is a server daemon which  listens  for  remote  input  clients.
       Clients  connect  over  a  secure  SSL socket and authenticate with the
       server through the  Cyrus  SASL  password  database  /etc/sasldb2.  The
       client  may  then  initialize  an  input device through the uinput user
       input event interface. After initialization, the client may send  input
       events such as key presses or mouse movements.

   Options
       -r, --realm realm
              SASL realm to authenticate against. Defaults to rinput.

       -c, --cert cert
              SSL  certificate  file  for  the  secure connection. Defaults to
              /etc/rinput/rinput.crt.

       -k, --key key
              SSL private key file for  the  secure  connection.  Defaults  to
              /etc/rinput/rinput.key.

       -p, --port port
              Port  to  listen  for  clients  on.  Set  to  0 to listen on any
              available port. Defaults to 8771.

       -n, --no-broadcast
              Don’t  broadcast  rinputd  service  on  local  network   through
              multicast  DNS.  This option is only available in Mac OS X or if
              compiled with Avahi support.

       -q, --quiet
              Limit output to rinputd internal errors.

       -v, --verbose
