What is the exact command you are trying?

How?
What do they contain, and how was this configured?

The simplest way to tell with the Net-SNMP tools is to add the option '-d'.
This will show raw packets being sent and received.
   If you get this error immediately, with no packets being sent, then it's
clearly from the manager.   If you see a normal request-response conversation,
then it's more likely to be from the agent.


> Does the manager need to "know" the user names?

It needs to know what username to specify, together with the authentication
and privacy characteristics to use (i.e. algorithms and passwords) for
that user.
But these can easily be provided as command-line options, so it's not essential
to have this information permanently configured into the manager.
  (Though this is also possible, of course).



Have a look at the file README.snmpv3 for more information
