first you connect to the database test

in the second one you run the command "psql" on the database template1

  -c COMMAND      run only single command (SQL or internal) and exit

you can create a user with "createuser" commandline tool or use the
CREATE ROLE sql command
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-createrole.html) and
then use the GRANT command
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-grant.html) to give the
user rights to the database you want. See the GRANT ... ON DATABASE
part for this.
