...i need a login block...
I am a bit confused.... Install module FrontEndUsers http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/frontendusers
and call it like {cms_module module=FrontEndUsers}. More help with module when it is installed on  'Users & Groups » Frontend User Management > Module Help'.

Install the custom content module as well. This was the bit I did not see and It doesn't seem documented from what I remember.. So FrontEndUser module and Custom Content Module were needed in order for me to create a a private login area for my client.

I have both added. Now to make the login area i need to place a call inside of a page correct {cms_module module=FrontEndUsers} then all should be good ?

Yes.
If you have separate template for restricted pages you can place tag there. In general, pages that are using FrontEndUsers module should not be cashed. You don't want to keep restricted content or user data for everybody else, do you ?.

I am learning so quickly here. I have been in the dark so long with cms's that add evertyhing under the sun in them for you that you take them for granted. Here i can learn and still achieve what i want. I thank you guys so much. I am making a seperate page just for private access now so it should be more secure and no cache.
