This should be in the FAQ, probably.  You not only have to be implicitly
in the wheel group (your primary group probably should not be wheel,
anyway), but you must also have your login ID on the wheel line in
/etc/group, like so:
wheel:*:0:briggs,grantham,lkestel

	shutdown -r
and
	shutdown -h
are the (most ;-) correct ways to reboot or halt the system from multi-user
mode.  See the man page for shutdown for more info.
