Nopes. This won't work as "nrpe" isn't recognized as a valid syslog 
facility. NRPE uses the daemon facility to log all its messages. With a 
line reading

daemon.*  /var/log/daemon.log

you will get all messages sent to the daemon facility in 
/var/log/daemon.log. Note that this will include messages from other 
daemons as well, but nrpe sets its ident (or TAG, according to rfc3164) 
to "NRPE", so you can easily grep the logfile for that string and find 
only the relevant entries.
