R: Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/ag ent x/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) (Connection refused)

The AgentX master agent is up and running, but I passed a configuration
file (snmpd.conf) with line 

AgentXSocket myserver:5000 

If I remove this line from the conf file, I get the message: 

Warning: Couldn't open a master agentx socket to listen on
(/var/agentx/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) (Address already
in use)

So, I tried to pass a conf file to the subagent, putting the same line 
AgentXSocket myserver:5000 
But it doesn't work. 

Now questions are: 
Can I tell the subagent to read a conf file? 
Or, in which way, I can force the subagent to connect on another port? 


Thank you very much.

Is the AgentX master agent running on the system? 
Does this file exist? 

If so, what are the ownership and permissions? 
How are you starting your subagent (e.g. who is it running as)?
