I'm running Jessie (with systemd running but booting with sysvinit) and trying to execute halt/poweroff/reboot/shutdown from a terminal without root privileges gives an error saying I must be superuser. Which has always been my experience in 10 years of using Debian.
Be careful to double check what you are testing: in your situation it's not clear whether /sbin/reboot is a symlink to systemctl (part of systemd, so I would expect this not to work if you were not running systemd as the init system) or a separate binary. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
