Ok , i finally managed  to make sure that a non-root user is able to 
execute the scripts. Then i restarted the snmpd daemon on the target 
host. But even now when i run a snmpget from the Nagios server to the 
snmpd daemon i am still getting as permission denied. The snmpwalk also 
does not seem to work as shown below:

UCD-SNMP-MIB::extIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extNames.1 = STRING: threadsjava
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extNames.2 = STRING: threadscspc
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extNames.3 = STRING: threadsmysqld
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.1 = STRING: /home/proc_threads/javathreads
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.2 = STRING: /home/proc_threads/cspc_server_threads
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.3 = STRING: /home/proc_threads/mysqldthreads
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extResult.1 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extResult.2 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extResult.3 = INTEGER: 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extOutput.1 = STRING: /home/proc_threads/javathreads: 
Permission denied
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extOutput.2 = STRING: 
/home/proc_threads/cspc_server_threads: Permission denied
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extOutput.3 = STRING: /home/proc_threads/mysqldthreads: 
Permission denied
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.2 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.3 = INTEGER: noError(0)
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFixCmd.1 = STRING:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFixCmd.2 = STRING:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFixCmd.3 = STRING:

Please let me know what else needs to be done.

Thanks
