  "rouser yellapu priv"

So the user "yellapu" is only authorised for access when using authPriv.
(i.e. encrypted requests).
    By default, the client tools will send requests with a security level of
"auth" (i.e. authenticated but unencrypted).   This is also what you
specify in the snmp.conf file

    "defsecuritylevel  authNoPriv"


Try adding     "-l authPriv"   or    "-l priv" to the command line

Exactly the same reason holds here.
You are still sending requests with a securityLevel of "authNoPriv"
Try specifying the security level on the command line.
