In Linix/Unix, ports below 1024 are considered "privileged" ports, and only root is allowed to bind to them. The snmpd.conf file offers the agentuser and agentgroup options to specify the user and group to assume after binding to the listening port. The agent must still be started as root to allow binding to a privileged port. -- Roy M.
