Can't connect to master agent

I've been following the tutorial on how to create a sub-agent demon.

http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tut...mon/index.html

For my testing I'm using net-snmp 5.3.0.1 running on my local desktop
machine, Kubuntu Linux 6.06. I intend to develop an snmp agent on an
embedded target, but to keep it simple I'm testing things on my desktop
first.

When I run the example-demon from the tutorial I get the following
message "Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent
(/var/agentx/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) (Connection
refused)"

I get exactly the same message when the master agent isn't running.

The /var/agentx/master file exists, but it is 0 bytes.

My snmp master agent is running, and I have added "master agent" to the
snmpd.conf file. Both the master agent and example-demon are running as
root.

When I run my master agent with the -Dagentx arguement I get the
following output

registered debug token agentx, 1
agentx_register_app_config_handler: registering .conf token for
"agentxsocket"
agentx_register_app_config_handler: registering .conf token for
"agentxperms"
agentx_register_app_config_handler: registering .conf token for
"agentxRetries"
agentx_register_app_config_handler: registering .conf token for
"agentxTimeout"
NET-SNMP version 5.3.0.1

I have also run Ethereal on the local loopback interface. I see 2
snmptraps sent when the master agent is started, but nothing else.
