DESCRIPTION

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