On my systems I have the /etc/snmp/hosts/ directory which contains files
that look like:
10.11.12.13.conf
and each file then contains:
defVersion 3
defSecurityName v3user
defSecurityLevel authPriv
defAuthType SHA
defAuthPassphrase "My Super SHA Secret"
defPrivType AES
defPrivPassphrase "My AES secret words"
so all I have to issue is:
snmpwalk 10.11.12.13 {whatever OID I need}
Does that help?
BTW - with carefull use of groups and users these files can be locked down
with very strong permission based security.
I run PakSecured so not certain where Ubuntu places the config files. Try
man snmp_config
