Fixed for Gutsy.
>From pam's NEWS file (version 0.99.7.1-5ubuntu1, which has just entered Gutsy):
[...]
The password length 'max' option has also been deprecated in this
version because it was never written to work as suggested in the
documentation. If you are using pam_unix but are not using the default
/etc/pam.d/common-password file, you should remove any old max= options
to pam_unix from your config as this option will be considered an error
in future versions of pam.
** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
