       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.

       -f, --foreground
