Overview
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.
