Thanks Peter I had parked this for a while, but your reply prompted me to try again. It worked and the problem turned out not to be with SmartOS as such. The problem was the VNC client I was using on my Mac.
I had been using TightVNC, but a problem with another zone caused me to change to Chicken; which works perfectly. Thanks for prompting me and confirming that what i was trying to do was actually OK.
