This is probably a known bug in the system gamin library.

Unfortunately, it looks like OpenSUSE's gamin does not include this patch.

So two questions: first, any idea what's going on?  And second, can
anybody think of another service I could restart that might be
involved in authentication?

If you find a running gam_server process, when this happens, you kill it, and you can log in again, you'll confirm that OpenSUSE's gamin is broken, and needs to be fixed.
