snmpsim: snmpsim import error while running with root

Hi

I’m trying to use snmpsim to simulate response from a switch. I need to open 161 port to get the management end fooled by snmpsim. I ran it as normal user without problems but when I ran it as root it gives-me an error.

(snmpsim-env) [root@management ~]# snmpsimd.py --data-dir ./data --agent-udpv4-endpoint=192.168.123.2:1611 --process-user=nobody --process-group=nobody
