The real question is what does hostname have to do with anything (aka how does :0 get to be a second field):
# echo $DISPLAY :0
There is an implicit <delimiter> in the beginning and the end of line (just in case you are using awk and the record delimiter is over-ridden and set to be a blank line -- aka 'stanza mode')
The second field is not ":0", it is "0" The ":" is a delimiter.
While all this may well enough explain why -f2, I don't see any response to my hostname question precipitated by your prior response.
