problems: agentSecName, llinkUpDownNotification, defaultMonitors

Hi, Net-SNMP gurus!

First of all, I did read the documentation (online), did searched the
mail-list archive and even tried to digg into the code. The same
problem seems to affect other people too, but I haven't found a
solution yet.

I have Net-SNMP v. 5.3.1 installed on RedHat server. The
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file looks like:

trapcommunity  public
trap2sink 172.16.208.1
agentSecName meme
rwuser meme
defaultMonitors yes

I have  also run net-snmp-config to create a user:
# /tmp/net-snmp-config-i386 --create-snmpv3-user
Enter a SNMPv3 user name to create:
meme
Enter authentication pass-phrase:
1234567890
Enter encryption pass-phrase:
  [press return to reuse the authentication pass-phrase]

adding the following line to /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf:
   createUser meme MD5 "1234567890" DES
adding the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   rwuser meme

For me it looks like I did all OK, but when snmpd starts with command:
# /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd -a

I get the following message in a system log:
     /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 104: Error: You must specify a default
user name using the agentSecName token

The same happens, if I change "agentSecName" to "iquerySecName", or if
I use "linkUpDownNotification yes" directive, or when using the user
which wasn't created with net-snmp-config.

What am I doing wrong? And what is the "right way"? Can I use
linkUpDownNotifications with SNMPv2 only (not v3)? Anybody has working
config to test?

I will appreciate your help.
Ilia.
