Is the goal to disable remote input, or disable local input? Remote input would be disabling input from the VNC protocol, which I believe already exists? Disabling local input would disable local keyboard/mouse when VNC is connected, allowing only remote (VNC) input.

UPDATE: Nevermind, answered my own question by looking at the pull request - goal is to disable local (=Server) input when VNC is connected.

> For security reasons it can be a required feature to have remote input disabled when using the VNC protocol (e.g. on remote costumer facing terminals, self service terminals etc).
>  
> Suggested solution is to add a setting "disable-server-input" which when set will send a message to the VNC client asking to disable the input.
