RINPUTD(8)
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
Print out debugging information. Not useful for general purposes.
- -f, --foreground
