I'm interested in setting up a small setup that would be a centralized

don't run any Windows boxes and don't understand raw LDAP.

Any suggestions? I have to think there's a good solution for small 
organizations. I could just Chef it based on databags, but that doesn't let 
users change their own passwords, which I see as a major downside.

I've heard good things about 389DS, though I never got around to actually using 
it myself. Chris St. Pierre used to be very active in that project, and he was 
really helpful when I was trying to figure it out (unfortunately, the project 
got crowded out by other more urgent things, and then I left that job).

OpenLDAP in itself isn't too hard to administer. However, I've never been the guy 
to set it up from scratch. :) Symas has a good support contract with good 
documentation, if you have some money to spend and need some help in getting it up 
& running.
