Shutdown in FreeBSD

I read in a FreeBSD book that users in the "operator" group are allowed to shutdown the system, but it is not what is happening. What is going on?

Thanks in advance, Ben.
 
X or no X?

What happens when a user in the operator group tries to shutdown the system? Errors? What command are they using?
 
X is not installed. When the user in the "operator" group executes "shutdown -h now" the message displayed is: "shutdown: Permission denied"
 
I am not an expert but as far as I know, only root can shutdown FreeBSD. The user has to be a member of wheel and then su into root.
