Subject: Change filenames recursively

I have hundreds of files that start with a * (asterisk) for the
filename.  I am needing to change the asterisk in every file to a _
(underscore).  Does

Anyone know what command I can use to recursively do that?  I appreciate
any help anyone can provide me.

 

Thanks!
