Well my memory was completely wrong and I should have RTFM'd the man page on
nsswitch.conf.
You change the passwd line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to compat, add +(or -)username
to /etc/passwd and then run pwconv.
Thanks to following (and anyone whos' reply I have not yet received):-

Subject: Restricting NIS logins on Solaris 2
Dear Sun Managers,
I have looked through the FAQ and cannot see the answer to this and, if my
memory serves me correctly, I don't think it is possible but if anyone knows
how to do it they'll be on this list.
Is there any way to restrict access to a limited set of NIS user accounts under
Solaris 2.5.1?
In SunOS 4.x you could do this by adding
+username::0:0:::
+:*:0:0:::
to the bottom of the /etc/passwd file (instead of +::0:0:::).
Cheers,
Ian
