Is there a good checksum system for OPENBSD?

I'm looking for a Program that compares md5 file checksums in a file against actual files and reports discrepancies. A commercial program like "Tripwire" does this, but isn't there an Open Source program that can do this.
It would be a good thing to use for files in the /bin directories, and other places where one would not expect files to be changed, but would easily identify trojans, and other changes to executeable files and binaries.
I suppose it wouldn't be that hard to write this in Python or Perl. But how long would it take to checksum thousands of files?
