So, when I upgraded, it added two fields to the plugin xml to store this data, but, I never had the chance to set data for that. So, Hudson would just never start up -- its startup process would freeze after joining the IRC room. I eventually started poking around and saw the empty fields and filled them in with some user data, which, fixed my problem. Anyway, someone else is probably having the same problem. The xml file I edited was hudson.plugins.ircbot.IrcPublisher.xml . I have a locked down Hudson, but, haven't had problems with the IRC bot in the past.
