can anyone tell me what the operator group is for, or docs where I can
read about it? I see that /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/mk_snap_ffs are both executable by members and various things in /dev/ are mountable

deal with devices, e.g. running backups and monitoring printers.

        The answer above is correct.  I found the operator "group" described
in "Essential System Administration" by AEleen Frisch which is
published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
