Configuring Net-SNMP 5.3.1 to send/receive SNMPv3 traps

I recently downloaded and installed Net-SNMP 5.4.1 on my RHEL4 development
box at work.  I configured snmpd to send SNMPv3 traps to localhost, and
snmptrapd successfully received them.  I also wrote an agentX subagent that
was able to send traps via the API.

The target platform for my project uses RHEL5.  Therefore, it would be ideal
to use Net-SNMP 5.3.1 because that is the version offered by the Red Hat
rpm.  However, I am not able to successfully configure Net-SNMP to
send/receive SNMPv3 traps for version 5.3.1.

I have successfully configured 5.3.1 to send and receive SNMPv2c traps.
Evidence of this is the receipt of a coldStart trap by snmptrapd, sent from
snmpd.  Additionally, my agentX subagent works correctly, so I know I am
using compatible API calls.

After many hours of combing through the mailing lists, trying different
configurations, reading RFCs and analyzing packets with WireShark,  I am
unable to successfully configure v3 traps for 5.3.1, and I still do not have
a definitive answer to my question:

***
Is it possible to configure Net-SNMP 5.3.1 to successfully send and receive
SNMPv3 traps?  If so, how?
***

Below I have included the files that successfully configured v3 traps for
Net-SNMP 5.4.1 but have failed for 5.3.1.  Note, I have tried numerous
configurations with the –e and –E flags with no luck.  I have also
successfully sent/received SNMPv3 traps via the command line app snmptrap.

*** /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ***

engineIDType 3

rouser myUser priv

trapsess –v 3 –u myUser –a SHA –A myAuthKey –x AES –X myPrivKey –l authPriv
localhost

master agentx

agentXSocket /var/agentx/master

*** /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf ***

createUser myUser SHA myAuthKey AES myPrivKey

*** /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf ***

authUser log,execute,net myUser priv

*** /var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf ***

createUser –e 0x<engineID> myUser SHA myAuthKey AES myPrivKey

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Johnny
