Yes, this has been said several times in this thread:

No, the nrpe daemon runs on the remote host. Your nagios server checks the remote host with check_nrpe.
In addition, sreinhardt's last post said:

Before we troubleshoot this any further you need to have NRPE installed on the remote system you want to check. That is why you are getting those 5666 Connection Refused errors. Please install NRPE so we don't continue chasing other issues that don't exist.
