Chris, Flux is packaged into the TDK as an application. When you build the newapp application you get a complete Turbine installation with both the "newapp" and "Flux" apps installed. I believe you will be able to see Flux links from the very first page of "newapp".
The Flux application simplifies user management by providing a nice and simple interface to the Turbine security service (which uses classes like org.apache.turbine.services.security.db.DBUserManager). You don't need Flux to use the Turbine security schema though. To try out the security schema in your test application, use the newapp Flux links to create and assign users to groups, roles, permissions. Then in your templates get the AccessControlList object from the RunData object and perform your security checks by using the ACL's methods, like "hasPermission(String)". Check out the JavaDocs for Turbine for complete detail on the ACL.
