allowed_hosts max limit

[robinwolny]

Cookbook version

2.0.3

Chef-client version

the latest (doesn't matter)

Platform Details

CentOS6/7

Scenario:

when allowed_hosts in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg has more then 144 IPs, nrpe is failing and won't start up

Steps to Reproduce:

edit /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg, option allowed_hosts with 150 or more IPs
Not sure if it's max limitation of NRPE or NRPE bug, but we should have some max limits to avoid it.

Expected Result:

nrpe up and running

Actual Result:
