You told the master agent to listen on (TCP) port 161, but the subagent 
is trying to connect to the local (Unix) socket /var/agentx/master. So 
either drop the "-x localhost:161" part if you want the master agent to 
listen on Unix socket, or configure the subagent to connect to 
localhost:161 (option NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET).

This file will be created by the master agent (if it is configured to 
listen on this local socket file).
