Need some help with SNMP

So the past couple of hours I have been trying to get SNMPv3 to work on some of my nodes. No luck so far.
The nodes are with RHEL6 kernels. Tried installing using the following:
yum install net-snmp-utils net-snmp-devel
All goes on well. Seems like it gets installed.
However, as I know, I have to stop the snmpd service to be able to create the users. When I run
service snmpd stop
It just outputs that there is no such service (not installed).
When I try to go to the dirs, where it should normally be located, says that they do not exist.
rpm -qa | grep snmp outputs:
[root@1264CC-XEON ~]# rpm -qa | grep snmp
net-snmp-libs-5.5-41.el6_3.1.x86_64
net-snmp-utils-5.5-41.el6_3.1.x86_64
Everything seems well, however I can't get it to work.
One more time, I apologise for my bad English.

Not sure why no one bothered to respond to this earlier....
Before you did service snmpd stop, have you done chkconfig snmpd on?
Yeah, well turns out that yum install net-snmp-utils net-snmp-devel does not actually install snmp and I've completly ignored that part. @rds100 helped me out, a simple yum install net-snmp was needed. Also ended up using snmp2, instead of 3, much easier to configure and does the same job, atleast for me.
