help running 2.3.0+ w/ longturn patches

I'm trying to run the LT30 ruleset AND the patched longturn server to play solo vs. AI (as running the 2.3.1 server with just the ruleset does not have the correct movement and sight)

I successfully compiled the freeciv-server code from git (with authentication) on Ubuntu 11.10. I tried following these old instructions:
http://old.longturn.org/forum/how-load- ... mment-8786

They no longer seem relevant, as I cannot connect my client to the server due to not being a 'preregistered user'.
I run the server with the flag "-r LT30.serv", and have also tried adding "-G" to no avail. Adding "-N" allows me to type a password and confirm password, but then rejects the client with "cannot change password".
I also installed MySQL, and ran the setup_auth_server.sh. I cannot connect with any username/pass I set up in this database.
What very simple step(s) am I missing ?

Thanks,
A grateful linux noob.

Thanks dude... that helped. I had to edit rc.subr to add a few fi to close some loops (maybe a bash/dash thing?), but it works.
