What Manjit says seems to be correct. It worked fine even when I specify the "-e <engineID" in the "snmptrap" call for all users but for the "noauth" user. So, for "noauth" user, we have to specify "disableAuthorization yes" in the snmptrapd confguration.
Without the "-e <engineID>", it goes through engineID discovery first. I also found that the engineID of "snmptrapd" changes at every invocation as 2nd part of engineID seems to be the "start time" of snmptrapd.
