To paraphrase this, and Suresh's original message, are you saying that sending 
a SIGHUP signal to re-read the .conf file is no longer supported for SNMPv3 
users definitions?  "No longer" meaning version 5.7.1.

That is precisely the purpose of the 'snmpusm' command.

No - you should be able to run snmpusm on *any* system that can
talk SNMP to your target machine.

   The 'net-snmp-config' approach is manipulating files directly, and
hence needs to be run on the server itself (with the SNMP agent stopped).
snmpusm is manipulating the configuration via SNMP SET requests,
so can be run from any host (with the target SNMP agent running).

Try configuring things from a different server
