What command did you use to start the agent?

By default, the agent will attempt to listen on UDP port 161,
which it can't do if it's running as a non-root user.

If you specify a different (high-numbered) port when
you start the agent, then it should be OK.

../snmpd -f -Le

I do not know how to do this:
I tried:
../snmpd -f -Le -x 22222

But I get the same error.

Can you give me an example of how to specify a different port?
Also, I am not sure if part of the problem is that because I am not
starting it up as root - the program fails because it can not write out
the config file to:
/var/net-snmp/snmp.conf (as it would not have permissions to do this).

My problem is that I need to run the subagent as non root, and I am
under the impression that in order to run the subagent as non root the
master agent has to also run as non root.
Thanks for the help.

That will be listening on port 161, which will fail

No - that specifies the _AgentX_ port
(which you're already setting in the config file).

The issue here is with the port for _SNMP_ requests.

How do I change the port for _SNMP_ requests?
