Forget about the "Sub-id not found" message. That's a red herring.

Concentrate on the other element "Unknown user name".
How have you created the user "myuser" ?

Note that this entry does not _create_ the user "myuser".
It simply authorises such a user to access the agent.

You still need a suitable "createUser" entry in the persistent
config file (/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf).
   See README.snmpv3 for details.
