snmpget fails on my second agent.

Hi,

I am running 2 snmpd agents in a single linux machine for my project
purpose. I am using configuration files snmpd.conf from from
/etc/snmp/snmp.conf for the first agent with default port (161) and
snmp.conf from my home directory for the second agent with port number
(5050).
The second agent is invoked with the command
/usr/sbin/snmpd -c <homedir>/snmp.conf udp:5050

For version 3, the user name is hellouser and the passphrase is hellopass.

When I execute the snmpget command for the first agent i.e for one with
default port it works fine.
i.e for the snmpget like
"snmpget -v 3 -u hellouser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A hellopass localhost
system.sysName.0"
I get response.

But it fails for the second agent with 5050 port.
i.e for the snmpget like
"snmpget -v 3 -u hellouser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A hellopass
localhost:5050 system.sysName.0"
fails saying "unknown user".

Why this happens? Can you please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
RSR
