You said you are making a server for everyone to enjoy, but you are setting it up for minilogin? Mainly, minilogin setup is for LAN play or playing on the same PC as the server. I am sure there are ways to use them outside of the LAN, but it is more complex. I also think that you have to create all accounts for anyone you want to allow to play on your server. At least that is how it was last time I tried minilogin.
You might want to look into making just a normal public server, which is very simple to do and will all "everyone to enjoy" vs just a select few. The wiki for public servers is here:

If you need more mini login help, you should post your config files and remove ALL passwords from them before posting of course. And let the mini login experts try to lend a hand, as I don't know much about the mini login.
