Hallo!

To be able to issue `shutdown' command, I need to be in
operator group, since

-r-sr-x---  1 root  operator  192256 Dec  6 19:34
/sbin/shutdown

OK.  But why reboot, halt (and other hardlinks) have this
permissions, when both shutdown and reboot do essentially
the same thing: ?

-r-xr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  256332 Dec  6 19:34 /sbin/reboot

...so only root can issue them?  Is there any point behind
this?

Thank you.
