When you add a user with "adduser" by default FreeBSD creates a group similar
named like the username. If you later say that this user should be in group
wheel it's additional.

This line just gives write access to group. You can either add the line:
own acd0 root:wheel
or you edit /etc/groups and add your user to the group operator.
I'd prefere the latter.
Here's my simple /etc/group example:
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/group,v 1.28 2003/04/27 05:49:53 imp Exp $
#
