Is it possible to MD5 all the items in a directory tree using Linux? I
am on a Redhat 7.3 workstation. I have read the man and info file for
MD5SUM and also tried to run it against a directory without success. I
get the error "Is a directory" which is very self explanatory.

So .. Is there another MD5 utility with more flexibility? I basically
need to MD5 every file individually in a large directory tree with the
output redirected to a text file showing the path, filename, and hash of
every file in that directory tree.

Thanks for the assistance,

Mark
