How can I change Nagios/NRPE log location?

On my remote hosts, /var/log/messages is filling up with messages like this:

Sep 26 06:33:53 <REMOVED> xinetd[13362]: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=8099
duration=0(sec)
Sep 26 06:34:01 <REMOVED> xinetd[13362]: START: nrpe pid=8105 from=<REMOVED>
Sep 26 06:34:01 <REMOVED> xinetd[13362]: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=8105
duration=0(sec)
Sep 26 06:34:57 <REMOVED> xinetd[13362]: START: nrpe pid=8113 from=<REMOVED>

How can I make it so that Nagios/NRPE throws these in a different file, and
not just /var/log/messages?

Thanks
