Hello, I have Armagetron Linux dedicated 0.2.8.3.2 installed, and the one thing I can't figure out is whenever I try to log in, it says "Login denied!".
Hi, well, I type "/login forums", and it says "Login denied!". No more, no less. There is nothing more to post, unless there is a logfile that I should look in.
Ah, the Ubuntu official Ubuntu builds don't support authentication of that kind, only the old insecure ADMIN_PASS method. That's because the new stuff was still considered experimental when 0.2.8.3 was released. You'd need to either use ADMIN_PASS or switch build types. The PPA has alpha builds you can use just as easily (they're not very much broken very often), and if you want to stick to 0.2.8.3.2, there are autopackage builds, zero install streams or building from source.
Oh, sorry, turned out I connected to the wrong local server when testing. The ppa builds are also authentication-less. I'll fix that for the next one, due to upload on Monday.
As a person who builds all of his server binaries from source, I would highly recommend that you try doing it that way. Then, if you want to try some experimental build or branch that is only available from source, you can do it. Also, you do have some more options available to you when you build from source. The devs have made the process pretty painless, with the sole exception being personal stupidity.

I just installed 0.2.8.3.2 (with --enable-authentication) from source, the only problem that I see is when I type "Login catlover@forums", it waits until the beginning of the next round to prompt for the password, and again until the next round to actually log me in.
As compguygene said, compiling was a breeze.
wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zthread/ZThread-2.3.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf ZThread-2.3.2.tar.gz
cd ZThread-2.3.2
./configure CXXFLAGS="-fpermissive" --prefix=/usr/
make && make install
