You may need to cause udev to reload its configuration, and restart
the ekeyd process, having removed any references to the userland
daemon from its configuration (if you've made any).

Unplug and re-plug the entropy key, and udev should automatically:

 * Set up the device nodes/links correctly.
 * Inform ekeyd about them.
