       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
              Print out debugging information. Not useful for general purposes.
