You'll need the nrpe-plugin package (providing check_nrpe) on the
server, not the client. Unless you'll only be running your own custom
plugins, you'll need nagios-plugins on the client as well as nrpe.

As far as xinetd, I haven't had any luck getting nrpe to run from xinetd
on RHEL hosts. I just start it out of rc.local.
