            Bug ID: 266525
           Summary: shutdown: documentation of operator group
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: uzsolt@uzsolt.hu
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

In the FreeBSD documentation
(https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/boot/#boot-shutdown):
"To reboot a FreeBSD system, use shutdown -r now. One must be root or a member
of operator in order to run shutdown(8)."

The manpage of shutdown (and poweroff) doesn't contain the information about
"member of operator". IMHO should contain at least the sentence "One must be
root or a member of operator in order to run shutdown(8)."
