Hmmm I don't find any log specific to nrpe. In other words I don't see
/var/log/nrpe.log or whatever. :)
And when I tail -f /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages I don't see any
entries turning up in them when I hit the client with check_nrpe. I was
checking the logs on the client itself.

Hmmmm. but the nrpe.confg file is ignored in the case of allowed hosts.

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1
Thanks for the input tho, I genuinely appreciate it!
