Woody does not contain Samba 3, but read on....

On http://www.backports.org you can find many newer debian-packages,
which are not contained in official woody. These packages are 
"backported" from unstable to stable.


You have to insert in your /etc/apt/sources.list this line(s):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# the original site - please use the nearest mirror, if possible
#deb http://www.backports.org/debian woody all
#
# two mirrors at german universities
#deb http://www.ecology.uni-kiel.de/mirrors/debian/backports.org/debian woody all
#deb http://fs.cs.fhm.edu/mirror/backports.org/debian woody all
#
# maybe the mirror next to you (US)
deb http://www.gonkgonk.com/mirrors/backports.org/debian woody all
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A full list of mirrors you will find there:
