Not true; if you copy all the checks belonging to Initial1 thru Initial6
into one policy, say usr_initial1-6, the scan will run fine.  I have worked
with ISS technical support and development, onsite, to create this
'workaround'.  

I know from experience that this is a severe inconvenience and a 'Dependable
workaround' that gives you equivalent functionality is helpful.  I'd rather
run one 'all-inclusive' scan as opposed to six separate scans.

P.S., I have experienced this same problem on all UNIX versions.

It works; give it a try...  :)

This particular problem is for Solaris and HP-UX agents.
I have been working with ISS Tech support and the problem has not yet been
resolved.  It seems to be when you run multiple policies in sequence against
a Unix server, that the 3rd policy hangs.  The troubleshooting debug files I
produced show that the agent is looking for the results in a directory
called /opt/sysscan/results/detailed (or deviation), but the result file is
not there. This was a problem with the older 4.1 version of the system
scanner agent and has reappeared in the 4.2 version. So the only work around
is to run only one policy at a time.
