It seems that I have to specify the engineID now. I replaced the line with Trapsess -e <engineID> -v3 -lauthNoPriv -uuser3 -aMD5 -Apassword3 <trap dest>
where the engineID is extracted from /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf. Now everything works. I don't have to do this before.

It seems that user is created there. The most likely cause is that the user "user3" isn't being created correctly. What is the relevant entry in the /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf file?
