Yes.  I touch on it in my previous email.  You probably sent yours before
mine arrived.  Use the program "find" along with the -exec parameter.
 test -d checks if a file is a directory.  Here's a command I run to loop
through a directory, output some file parameters and a checksum for files
only (no directories) and append to a file.  Hopefully it'll get you in the
right direction.  You'll want chown to appear after exec.

find / -path '/home/files' -prune -o -type f -printf
"%m\t%s\t%U\t%u\t%G\t%g\t%AY-%Am-%Ad %AT\t%CY-%Cm-%Cd %CT\t%TY-%Tm-%Td
%TT\t" -exec md5sum {} \;  > files_regular
