Putting users in the wheel group allows them to su to root - probably not 
what you're looking for. I think the default user shell in BSD is /bin/sh 
(?) which doesn't provide command completion. Any user can use the chsh 
command to change their shell. To see what shells are currently installed 

# cat /etc/shells

You may need to install BASH from the ports collection, and I think it 
comes with csh and/or tcsh pre-loaded.
