SNMP V3 trap issues

Hi,
        Currently I am using "snmptrapd" as a SNMP Trap receiver. I am
receiving SNMP v1 and v2c traps correctly. But i am having problems in
receiving SNMP V3 traps. When starting "snmptrapd" as "root", i am able to
receive V3 traps, correctly. But as a normal user, the below output is
obtained.

[tuser@TrapReceiver]$ snmptrapd -c trapListenerV3.conf -Lo -f -Dusm
10.42.243.1:20163
registered debug token usm, 1
usmUser: created a new user trapUserV3 at 90 00 00 55 03 00 00 00 00 00 44
NET-SNMP version 5.3
usm: USM processing begun...
usm: Unknown Engine ID.
usm: USM processing has begun (offset 49)
usm: getting user trapUserV3
usm: match on user trapUserV3
usm: no match on engineID (80 00 1F 88 80 B4 38 2D 03 B1 2C ED 45 )
usm: USM processing completed.

I understand that this has something to do with
"/var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf"
But Why is that file needed for a running Trap receiver ??
Is it not possible to receive traps as a normal user on a non-privileged
port ??
