Narrative:
During preflight I was concerned with a log entry that indicated the right engine had failed/shutdown two days prior. I called maintenance control to inquire about the incident and what had been found as the cause and repaired. Controller said it was a problem with the fire control panel that had caused the failure; it was repaired; tested and good to go.we took the aircraft and made an uneventful flight until rollout when the right engine failed in exactly the same manner that had been detailed in the [previous] log entry.troubles me greatly that a two engine aircraft with an unresolved issue causing the right engine to shut itself down was released back to service. Problem was obviously not diagnosed correctly and if it could cause the number 2 engine to shut down on its own; what's to say the unresolved and improperly diagnosed malady could not occur in the number 1 or both engines while in flight. Engines fail; that is part of aviation; but unexplained engine failures and then having maintenance clear the aircraft for flight and having the same mysterious shut down occur two days later in my opinion is unacceptable.
