            # hwclock --systohc

Step 2: Configure Network Interface card (NIC) to be connected with Internet

            #vi /etc/network/interfaces

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface


auto eth0 [after restart networking interface will up automatically]

iface eth0 inet static

      address 192.168.200.90

      netmask 255.255.255.0

      network 192.168.200.0

      broadcast 192.168.200.255

      gateway 192.168.200.1

     dns-name servers 202.84.32.22

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

auto eth4

allow-hotplug eth4 [automatically detect network interface/NIC]

iface eth4 inet static

        address 192.168.20.60

        netmask 255.255.255.0

        gateway 192.168.20.1

        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed

        dns-nameservers 202.84.32.22 202.84.32.23

        dns-search tanjila.com

 
auto eth1
      iface eth1 inet static
      address 192.168.0.1
      netmask 255.255.255.0           

# /etc/init.d/networking restart


Check: gateway, dns, google, netstate -net

 

Step 3: Update source list

#vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Add there:

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian stable main contrib

Postfix SASL authentication with SMTP port 465:

  By default postfix SMTP works on 25 port.   You can check this by following command with the output below: #netstat -nat tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN    Here we will change the port to 465 with SASL authentication. It is useful technique to fight against spam. Users those travel here and there with their laptops need not to change their e-mail client software settings also. Here is how we can do it.   Step 1 . Edit the file /etc/dovecot.conf and make sure your auth default section has the lines below. auth default { socket listen {   client {    path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth    mode = 0660    user = postfix    group = postfix     }   }   mechanisms = plain login } Step 2 . Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf , find the keys below and change its values as follows or add it at the bottom of the file if the key (the word before the = sign) cannot be found. mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_sasl_type
