As William indicated, the agent can only listen on a "privileged"
port (such as 161) if it's run as root. Try starting it to listen
on another (non-standard) port, using something like:
./snmpd -L -f 9999
You'll then need to specify the same port when you query it:
snmpwalk .... localhost:9999 system
(or whatever the name of the host is).
