Thanks

I've seen that same file on a Linux box. It was just a text file (of error messages) which grew until the filesystem reached it's limit.
I seldom enable the Xwindow GUI on SCO, but my bet is that you can safely clear that file. I'd first use "fuser" to make sure it's not currently attached to a process.

Could it be connected with directory /usr/lib/X11/scologin
?

It contains procedures for starting the graphical X session - starting login, window manager, X desktop etc.
Look what kind of error messages in file.
Could be wrong configured X system - X server cannot open the the display, or some of programs can not be started, tries many times and thats why a lot of errors.
