snmpd must be root?

Hi
I am creating an agent and I noticed that when I run it as root everything seems to be ok,
When I execute it as another user I get the following error :

Error opening specified endpoint ""
Server Exiting with code 1

The execution command are the same
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf -C -Lf 1.txt

Is it because the default UDP port is 161 ? how can I run it as a user which is not a superuser?

Thanks , Isaac Eliassi
